Sažetak
In this paper, we report the application of photocatalytic oxidation process for the degradation of residual pollutants often found in surface water. Pilot scale flat-plate cascade reactor (FPCR) was fabricated to study the solar photocatalytic degradation of model organic pollutants: salicylic acid (SA), sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) and 17- estradiol (E2) over (i) suspended TiO2 or (ii) TiO2 thin-film supported on glass. The FPCR system was designed to study common water-borne pollutants photocatalytic degradation and to test the developed predictive model on a larger scale. The FRCR represent a simple system that can be easily scaled-up and installed at the outlet of municipal water treatment plants or in the critical part of a recipient. The modular panel with the full-spectra solar lamps having appropriate UVB and UVA irradiation levels was used as a simulation of sunlight. The idea was to develop the predictive models that would allow the estimation of pollutant degradation in flat-plate reactors independent on the reactor size and capacity. The model could be effectively applied for different irradiation conditions which makes it extremely versatile and adaptable when predicting the degradation extents throughout the year using sunlight as the energy source at any location.
