TiO2 based photocatalysis for the removal of emerging pollutants

  • Advanced oxidation processes have become an important part of research due to their capacity to degrade many environmental pollutants during water treatment. Especially the heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising method because it often results in a full mineralization of many hazardous compounds. Incomplete degradation reactions can result in transformation products due to oxidative conditions. The transformation products may have a higher toxicity than the precursor substances and are often only partly removed during water treatment. Since a lot of these compounds are still unknown, transformation products are not detected by target analysis used in sewage treatment plants and are often released into the aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, extensive and effective non-target analytical methods are necessary for the monitoring and identification of the transformation products which can be generated during waste water treatment.

Since a lot of these compounds are still unknown, transformation products are not detected by target analysis used in sewage treatment plants and are often released into the aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, extensive and effective non-target analytical methods are necessary for the monitoring and identification of the transformation products which can be generated during waste water treatment. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most frequently used photocatalyst because of its inexpensiveness, non-toxicity, chemical stability and its high photocatalytic activity. If TiO2 is irradiated electron-hole pairs are generated on the surface of the TiO2, resulting in the formation of active oxidized species such as hydroxyl radicals which can react with environmental pollutants. A model system has been developed to simulate photocatalytic reactions in a laboratory scale. The commonly used pharmaceuticals metformin and gabapentin were selected as model substances because of their high input in waste water and the little information about their fate during water treatment. Metformin is the drug of choice for treating type 2 diabetes. More than half of the total amount of pharmaceuticals in the environment are the antidiabetic agent metformin and its major transformation product guanylurea. Gabapentin is used as antiepileptic drug and for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It is found in waste water influent in the high ng/L range. First results of the optimization of the photocatalyst and its application are shown.zeige mehrzeige weniger
