Continuous photocatalytic set-up assisted with nano TiO2 plate for tannery wastewater treatment

A novel photocatalytic continuous system has been proposed for the treatment of tannery waste water, which has high levels of environmental pollutants. The purification process was performed by passing wastewater on a titanium dioxide (TiO2)-coated surface, which is continuously activated by irradia...
