Article Abstract

The textile industry is a significant source of water pollution. Methylene blue (MB) dye from textile effluents is the most visible source and studied treatment method to prevent adverse effects on human health and aquatic systems. Here, we present a comprehensive review on applying photocatalyst-based AOPs and electrocatalysis methods as efficient and environmentally friendly techniques to degrade MB. The types of electrocatalytic techniques, their advantages, and the main factors affecting their performance are comprehensively reviewed. In contrast, an assessment of the important parameters of photocatalytic techniques is summarised and extensively discussed. In addition, the mechanisms and by-products generated are analysed to improve the understanding of advanced textile wastewater treatment. Synergistic effects in hybrid AOPs (integration of photocatalytic and electrocatalytic techniques) are also discussed as an improved technique. Furthermore, our review article discusses the future direction of photocatalyst and electrocatalysis-based AOP methods, emphasising the need for sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions.

Thin films of CuSn Gd S were prepared on soda-lime glass substrates using spin coating in a sulfur-rich environment. We investigated how doping CuSnS with gadolinium (Gd) affected its structural, morphological, and optical properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. XRD showed that all samples had a polycrystalline monoclinic structure, while FE-SEM revealed a mix of spherical and polygon-shaped grains.

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO), a perovskite oxide with both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic properties, has emerged as a promising material for environmental cleanup due to its piezo-photocatalytic activity. The material's ability to degrade organic pollutants, such as azo dyes, under both light irradiation and mechanical stress (ultrasonic waves) offers a dual-action mechanism for efficient wastewater treatment. In this work, we explore the synthesis of BiFeO nanoparticles a simple sol-gel method, followed by characterization of their structural, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties.

The increasing pollution of water bodies from various industrial wastewater discharges has raised significant environmental concerns because these effluents contain toxic, nonbiodegradable compounds that pose serious risks to living organisms. In particular, the textile and pharmaceutical industries routinely use dyes that severely degrade water quality and lead to significant environmental issues. Therefore, effective removal of these dyes from industrial wastewater is crucial for mitigating pollution.

Photo-Fenton oxidation, as a promising wastewater treatment technology, suffers from double barriers: the sluggish Fenton catalytic rate of transition metal ions and inefficient visible light absorption, both of which severely constrain the performance enhancement of catalytic systems. Therefore, accelerating electron transfer processes and broadening optical absorption spectra have become critical scientific challenges for practical implementation. Herein, a composite catalyst system based on Au-Ag-Cu trimetallic species codoped on hydroxyapatite (HAp) was reported via an ion/ligand impregnation method.
