Resumen:
The strength of this research aim is to use sludge-based catalysts (SBCs) for the treatment of wastewaters in the biological and chemical treatment methods at environmentally acceptable conditions. This research presents an alternative way to reuse waste materials from wastewater treatment plants and the performance of new catalysts in the environmental treatment applications, especially in the biological and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as ozonation, photo reaction and catalytic wet air oxidation. This study includes important features such as carbonisation, metal impregnation, surface characterization, and degradation mechanism of pollutants on the biological and oxidative reaction processes. The sludge carbon/TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized by different classical methods and the study of the design and fabrication of advanced photocatalytic materials in the framework of nanoscience is presented.
