Visible-light-assisted photodegradation of an azo dye, Reactive Red 180 (RR180), in the presence of nitrogen-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) has been studied. The photodegradation of RR180 is evaluated through decolorization studies and total organic carbon analysis. The efficacy of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), potassium peroxomonosulfate (oxone or PMS), and potassium peroxodisulfate (PDS) in improving the photodegradation of the dye in the N-TiO2-RR180 system is also examined. The effect of combining photo-Fenton-like reaction with N-TiO2-mediated photodegradation of RR180 under visible light has been investigated. The photoactivity of N-TiO2-RR180-Fe3+/Cu2+-oxidant systems is compared with the individual techniques of photocatalysis and photo-Fenton-like reactions. The coupled system possesses superior photomineralization ability towards the abatement of RR180.

Chlorpyrifos (CP) is an organophosphorus pesticide widely used in agriculture. Due to its toxicity, it has been necessary to develop a treatment to eliminate the environmental wastes generated by this substance. The combination of UV radiation and hydrogen peroxide seemed an interesting option to reduce the concentration of CP in water, as it has proved to be a simple and effective method to degrade other similar pesticides. The purpose of this work is to study the effect of different initial concentrations of H2O2 on the degradation of commercial CP in water using UV/H2O2. Conversions of 93% were achieved in 20 min with 450 mg L−1 of H2O2 initial concentration (0.16 mg of CP degraded per mg of H2O2 consumed). The total organic carbon analysis showed interesting mineralization values, reaching a 70% conversion after 4 h of reaction. In addition, this degradation procedure leads to a clear reduction of the toxicity of the reaction mixture over Vibrio fischeri.

The presence of azo dyes in textile effluents is an issue of major concern due to their potential impact on the environment and human health. In this study we investigate the photocatalytic degradation under visible light of Reactive Violet 5 (RV5), an azo dye widely used in the textile industry. A preliminary screening of different titania-based catalysts was carried out to identify the best candidate for RV5 removal. The selected catalyst was then tested in a stirred and aerated lab-scale reactor illuminated with a blue light-emitting diode (LED) source emitting in the wavelength range of 460–470 nm. The effects of pH, catalyst load, and hydrogen peroxide additions on the efficiency of dye removal were evaluated. Under the best conditions (pH 10, 3 g/L of catalyst, and 60 mM hydrogen peroxide), the dye solution was completely decolorized in about 2 h. Overall, the results obtained suggest that the proposed process may represent a suitable method for the removal of RV5 from textile effluents.
