Degradation of organics from laundry water by photoelectrochemical and electrochemical processes on α-Fe2O3 nanostructure

Abstract

In this study, organics from laundry water, and sodium dodecyl sulfate were degraded by electrochemical (EC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) processes on aFe203 nanostructure. The applied voltage was between 1 and 3 V. The experimental data were also well simulated by the proposed kinetic models. The results present an economical and environmentally friendly method for developing countries where centralized wastewater facilities are not available.
