Treatment of Rose Processing Wastewater By Sunlight/TiO2 Photocatalysis Process

Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the photocatalytic treatment of rose processing wastewater by using sunlight and TiO2. Rose processing wastewater contains high concentrations of chemical oxygen demand, high amount of solid matters and dark color. The effect of various operating conditions such as irradiation time, catalyst loading and pH on COD and color removal were determined. The highest color removal and COD removal was found to be 51.7 % and 15.7%, respectively with 2 g/L TiO2 catalyst dose at pH 4. Sunlight was used as an economic irradiation source for photocatalytic treatment of rose processing wastewater.
