Factors influencing the efficiency of radiation-induced degradation of water pollutants

Photo induced dissociation of ferri and ferro cyanide in hydroponic solutions

“…Photo-induced degradation has been shown to be a promising alternative for contaminant destruction, in which the usefulness of radiolysis technique for efficient degradation has been successfully confirmed for a variety of pollutants (Getoff, 2002). The decomposition of iron cyanides into free CN in soils in the absence of light was detected at pH of 3.8 and 4.2, while the half-life of iron cyanides was estimated to be approximately 100 years at pH of 6.5 using a decomposition model (Meeussen et al, 1992).…”

Degradation of Cibacron Red Dye using ZnO as a Catalyst Coated on the Surface of the Glass in the Photocatalytic Process

“…The reagents used in this study were Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 , ethanol, methanol, and acetone. The dye used in this experiment was cibacron red and has a molecule structure in Fig.…”

“…The presence of large quantities of colored wastewater blocked the penetration of light into the water and subsequently cause imbalance in their ecosystem. In general, the wastewater released from that industry is toxic and biological resistant and would pollute the environment, especially the water resources [1][2].…”

Degradation of 4-chlorophenol in aqueous solution by γ-radiation and ozone oxidation

“…(2) to analyze the radiolysis of 4-CP and the kinetics of 4-CP mineralization based on the determination of total organic carbon (TOC); (3) to determine the influence of initial 4-CP concentration and the free radicals scavengers (such as NaHCO 3 and t-butanol) on the 4-CP degradation [10] . 60 Co-γ-source was designed and built by the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Tsinghua University.…”
