Indirectly related to other research projects not specified Degradation of 5 emergent contaminants on two Fe nanostructured photoresponsive catalysts 01.09.2012 3 Mathematics, natural sciences 20709 Other disciplines of Environmental Sciences Given the impact of selected compounds such as metformin, carbendazim, azithromycin, metronidiazole, claritromycin and atenol, and the insufficiency of current decontamination approaches, enhanced technologies using promising catalysts are seriously needed. Therefore, our goal in the project proposed hereby is to obtain new Fe nanostructured photoresponsive catalytic formulations based on four catalysts (pillared clays and ultra-stable zeolite) and to assess their catalytic performances for the degradation processes of selected compounds from real wastewater. These results could be integrated with that obtained by Swiss group using UV and neutral photo-Fenton process. Given the competitive edge involved in the teams expertise and experience with the latest methods and with multi-disciplinary contextualization and industrial perspective, is anticipated that the results of the project will fall in the category of highly competitive developments that can be seen as eco-innovative and benefit to both industrial and social stake-holders.
