Integrating adsorption and photocatalysis: A cost effective strategy for textile wastewater treatment using hybrid biochar-TiO2 composite
Abstract
TiO2 based photocatalysts are extensively used for textile wastewater treatment as they are ecofriendly, inexpensive, easily available, nontoxic and have higher photostabililty. However, their wider band gap, charge carrier's recombination, and utilization of light absorbance limits their performance. In the present work, a hybrid biochar-TiO2 composite (BCT) has been synthesized by a facile synthesis strategy to overcome these problems. These photocatalysts are characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) to evaluate their crystallinity, morphology, functional groups, bandgap energy and charge separation properties, respectively. The photodegradation of simulated textile wastewater is analyzed using hybrid composites. The hybrid biochar-TiO2 composite showed higher charge separation, slow recombination of electron-hole pairs, and enhanced light absorption as compared to control (pure TiO2 and BC alone). 99.20 % photodegradation efficiency of dye-simulated wastewater is achieved employing optimum hybrid composite, while the pure biochar and TiO2 samples exhibits 85.20 % and 42.60 % efficiencies, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity is obtained for hybrid biochar-TiO2 sample, 74.30 mgg-1 in comparison to biochar (30.40 mgg-1) and pure TiO2 (1.50 mgg-1). The results show that hybrid biochar-TiO2 composites can perform in the target application of organic industrial pollutant removal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
