Removal of Organic Dyes from Wastewaters Using Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Management of Environmental Contaminants

Abstract

Wastewater from the pharmaceutical and health industries is dangerous to the environment and public health because it contains organic pollutants such as dyes. The photocatalytic process is a new technology and method for the elimination of biological pollution, and the use of nanotechnology in this field is increasing dramatically. Metal oxide nanoparticles are used as nanocatalysts in many different fields, such as industry, health, and hygiene. This led us to investigate the application of metal oxide nanoparticles in the optical degradation of dyes and toxic substances during the photocatalytic process and also evaluate the efficiency of removal of organic dyes by metal oxide nanoparticles under different conditions. Due to their chemical stability and environmental friendliness, very small size, high active surface area, and excellent selectivity of nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles have higher degradation efficiencies than other materials, which increase the efficiency of the photocatalytic process. Therefore, research reported in this field showed that the photocatalytic method with optimization of effective factors has a good efficiency in the degradation of organic dyes.
