PHOTOCATALYTIC PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND DEGRADATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTES

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a fast emerging future’s technology, where the nanosized materials have attracted growing interest as a result of their unique structure and properties. Among many applications of nanotechnology that have environmental implications, owing to their outstanding properties, is the nanostructured semiconductors have comprehensive applications in the green chemistry areas such as wastewater treatment and hydrogen production. Titanium dioxide (TiOR2R) is among the few nano-semiconductors that have good chemical, mechanical, photostability and oxidation properties. This nanomaterial has been studied and widely used as a photocatalytic material for many environmental applications such as wastewater and hydrogen production. In this thesis, we aim to study the effect of hydrothermal treatment and doping with FeP3+P and ZnP2+P on physicochemical properties of TiOR2 Rnanomaterials for dye removal and hydrogen
