Sažetak
Aromatic organic components in wastewater widely come from a variety of industries such as medicine, paper, food preservatives and antiseptics, and etc. Some of them like Phenol are extremely hazardous and their disposal in the environment may have catastrophic impact on human health. Thus, there is great interest in the kinetics study of aromatic organic components degradation in order to develop new techniques to effectively treat these pollutants for wastewater purification. Recently, the combination of Photocatalysis (PC) and electrochemical oxidation (EC), referred to as photoelectrochemical (PEC) technology, has attracted increasing interest since it resolves the inherent challenges of both PC and EC processes as low efficiency and energy consuming, respectively. In this work, PEC degradation of three different organic pollutants (Phenol (Ph), Salicylic acid (SA), and 5- Aminosalicylic acid(5-ASA)) was investigated using BiVO4 as a solar light activated material. Moreover, the effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in PEC degradation was studied. BiVO4 showed different efficiency for removal of different organic pollutants (5- ASA˃SA˃Ph) and the presented layer of rGO incredibly improved the BiVO4 efficiency for all studied organic pollutants degradation. The influence of initial concentration, pH, and applied voltages on PEC degradation was studied.
