Organic pollutants in water are one of the major constituents in water pollution. Phenol is one of the organic pollutants which are commonly found in the effluent of industries such as petroleum refineries and petrochemicals. Conventional treatment techniques such as filtration and flocculation and carbon adsorption have limitations of their own. Thus, photocatalysis offers a possible alternative in treating wastewater effluent containing phenols. This study attempts to evaluate photocatalytic degradation of phenol in a fluidized bed reactor. Immobilized TiO2 supported onto quartz sand was used as the photocatalyst and characterized using SEM, EDX and XRD analysis. The performance of the supported photocatalyst is evaluated in different operating parameters such as photocatalyst loading and initial phenol concentration. 2011-10-25T10:24:13Z 2011-10-25T10:24:13Z 2011-05-28 Article Journal of Applied Sciences, vol. 11 (13), 2011, pages 2320-2326 1812-5654 http://www.scialert.net/fulltext/?doi=jas.2011.2320.2326&org=11 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/14988 en Asian Network for Scientific Information
