Utilization of Photo Fenton Processes with Photocatalytic Semiconductor for Treating River Water in Trinidad: A Case Study | Chapter 5 | Research Highlights in Science and Technology Vol. 2

 Water is a fundamental capital for human civilization, still there is a critical water deficiency happening all across the globe in the twenty-first century, that is creating a question. In some areas of underdeveloped countries, people drink water that has happened extensively tainted and comes from waterways that are home to deadly diseases. The study plans employing two methods, photocatalytic semiconductor and Photo Fenton, as an enhanced burning process to get rid of various types of water impurities and offer an efficient water situation solution. Water samples were captured from the Couva River in Trinidad and tested utilizing the Photo Fenton process with Titanium Dioxide catalyst. To away contaminants, the process was applied to the samples of waterway water. The physiochemical criteria that decide the properties of safe water were accordingly used to evaluate the backlash using two together approaches. The two techniques efficiently eliminated between 80 and 100 allotment of the contaminants that were discovered in the river sampled. Also seen was that variations in Titanium Dioxide aggregation correlated with changes in responsiveness to stimuli and degradation rates. Light incorporation often reduces efficiently as titanium dioxide concentration rises to saturation. It was more discovered that the rate of depravity was directly compared with light force.  This demonstrates the technology's potential for discard water pollutants. The lower cost of the electronics is a crucial benefit concerning this study, particularly for capability-constrained developing countries with its own government.
