Photo Catalytic Reduction of Pb(II) Using Titanium Oxide PVA-Alginate Beads under Sunlight

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pb(II) which is considered a toxic and common pollutant to the environment was removed from the aqueous solution using the one step photo catalytic reduction with the help of titanium oxide PVA-alginate beads. The photo catalytic reduction was performed in the presence and absence of sunlight at pH 7 and Pb(II) concentration of 50mg/L at the equilibrium contact time of 180 min. The results revealed that the titanium oxide PVA-alginate beads were capable of removing 98% of Pb(II) from the aqueous solution within 150 min. The titanium oxide PVA-alginate beads can be separated from the aqueous solution after photocatalytic process and they can be reused for at least 7 times without significant loss in their initial properties.
