Technology Description

The technology is novel titanium based gel adsprbant and photocatlyst for the separation of organic dyes from aqueous solution and its further photocatalytic degradtaion using solar light. This novel gel adsorbs the organic dyes from aqueous solution and when exposed to solar radiation the adsorbed dye gets degraded. This technology will be helpful for removal of organic dyes and colored materails from effleunts originated from textile and other industries generating colured aqueous effluent.

Applications

This technology will be helpful for effluent treatment from textile and other industries generating colored effluent to solve the pollution control problem.

Benefits

The present state of art for effluent treatment is the adsorption of colored dyes from aqueous solution using adsorbent like activated charcoal etc. which cause secondary pollution because the adsorbed dye do not get degraded but comes out at the time of regeneration of the activated caharcoal and needs further treatment. Where as in present case the adsorbed dye can be degraded by phtocatalytic degradadtion and does not need furtehr treatment. The adsorption capacity of the present adsorbent is quite high compared to the conventional adsorbent.
