CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
There are many methods available to treat organic pollutants in an aqueous environment such as adsorption, membrane technology, photocatalysis, coagulation, ozonation and biological treatment. The existence of pollutants in the aquatic environment or wastewater not only hinders the transmission of light which threatens the survival of aquatic organisms, but it can also lead to toxicity as well as dysfunction of liver, kidney and reproductive systems in human beings when consumed. Among these contaminants, stand out are dyes, heavy metals, and oily wastewater. Adsorption is a useful unit operation able to remove contaminants from wastewaters. Adsorption has several advantages including low cost, simple operation and implementation, high efficiency, and abundant source for adsorbent synthesis.
In water treatment area, the photocatalytic technology and low-cost adsorbent have been widely investigated for the pollutants and dyes degradation and regarded as sustainable technology treatment in the future Hence, the utilization of TiO2 in photocatalytic water treatment technology has been highly sought due to its high-photoactivity, good thermal and chemical stability, and low toxicity and cost. For the improvement of photodegradation performance, TiO2 is doped or loaded with metal and non-metal elements, as well as paired with other photocatalyst. These strategies are aimed to reduce the recombination rate that decreases the photocatalytic performance.
Membrane is an alternative unit operation for water and wastewater treatment. The rapid advancement in membranes technology has matured the technology to compete with existing processes. Since 2000, the materials advancement has reduced the membrane cost to competitive prices. For wastewater treatment, micro- and ultrafiltration membrane often used to meet the regulation discharge. Moreover, membrane technology also implements for water reuse purpose to minimize wastewater discharge.
