Abstract:Wastewater discharged from the textile industry contains approximately 15% unfixed dyes, predominantly 60−70% azo dyes. These unfixed dyes are a major environmental concern due to their persistence and potential toxicity. In this paper, an environmentally friendly mercury-free XeI* excilamp emitting 253 nm UV light is reported, and the same has been utilized for the degradation of azo dyes using the advanced oxidation process (AOP) with TiO 2 /H 2 O 2 . A new process is developed in which one electrode of exci… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
