What Are Some Catalytic Processes Used for Water Purification?
There are various catalytic processes employed for water purification under the regulations of the Clean Water Act, including:
Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs): These involve the generation of highly reactive species like hydroxyl radicals to degrade organic pollutants. Photocatalysis: Utilizes light-activated catalysts, such as titanium dioxide, to break down contaminants. Electrocatalysis: Uses electrical energy to drive catalytic reactions that remove pollutants. Bio-catalysis: Employs biological materials, like enzymes or microorganisms, to catalyze the degradation of pollutants.
