Impact of Photocatalytic degradation of pollutants of Textile industry by Nanocatalyst ZnO

Abstract

Textile industrialization shows the growth of country but these industries also affect the water quality in a direct manner as well as indirect manner. Most of these textile industries produce waste containing toxic heavy metal and organic and inorganic effluent. Photocatalytic degradation is a important technique for removing impurities from industrial waste by the use of light radiation and particles. This paper aims, to review the recent works on the photocatalytic degradation by using ZnO photo catalyst for textile polluted water. Various operation parameters such as colour, pH, temperature, TDS, COD to their effect on photo degradation by using nanocatalyst ZnO. Result indicate, this laboratory experiment performance have been investigate of the solar photo catalytic degradation process can efficiently treat textile effluent and reduce the levels of COD, TDS, alkalinity and color. Experimental runs can be used to identify the operational parameters to perform wastewater degradation on large scale for recycling purpose.
