Photoelectrocatalytic based simultaneous removal of multiple organic micro-pollutants by using a visible light driven BiVO4 photoanode

In this research, photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) based advanced oxidation process (AOP) was studied for the removal of multiple OMPs through an oxidative mechanism. This study investigated the application of a BiVO4 photoanode in simultaneous removal of three selected OMPs: acetaminophen (ACT), benzotriazole (BTA) and propranolol (PRO). This study...

Photo-electrocatalytic based removal of acetaminophen: Application of visible light driven heterojunction based BiVO4/BiOI photoanode

The presence of organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) in wastewater treatment effluents is becoming a major threat to the water safety for aquatic and human health. Photo-electrocatalytic based advanced oxidation process (AOP) is one of the emerging and effective techniques to degrade OMPs through oxidative mechanism. This study investigated the...
