Abstract

Various organic compounds including textile dyes, pesticides and pharmaceutical compounds were detected in aquatic environment. A large number of studies were examined to remove these types of compounds from water. This paper includes the applications of radiation technology to decompose such organic compounds with various combinations such as ozone and H2O2. Changes in amounts of organic pollutants, their intermediates, toxicity, decoloration and Chemical Oxygen Demand COD -Biological Oxygen demand BOD with irradiation dose were followed. The results showed that gamma irradiation based water treatment technologies are effective for the water treatment even in drinking water.

Çözünmüş organik kirleticilerin gama-ışınları temelli ileri oksidasyon yöntemleri İOY ile sudan uzaklaştırılması

Abstract

D oğal sulu ortamlarda tekstil boyaları, pestisitler ve farmasötik bileşikler gibi birçok organik bileşik saptanmıştır. Sudan bu tür yapıların uzaklaştırılması için birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma radyasyon teknolojisinin ozon ve HO gibi çeşitli kombinasyonlarla bir araya getirilerek yapılan uygulamaları içermektedir. Organik kirleticilerin, ara ürünlerin, toksiste, renk giderimi ve Kimyasal Oksijen İhtiyacı COD -Biyolojik Oksijen İhtiyacı BOD değerlerinin ışınlama dozuyla değişimi incelenmiştir
