Introduction

This series provides information on the nature of dyes, their harmful effects, and dye degrading techniques. The second volume focuses on sophisticated oxidation methods for dye degradation. The information on target-oriented dye mitigation is intended to give readers a better understanding of the dye degradation process to sustain a healthy environment. Chapters present referenced information and highlight novel industry breakthroughs.

Key topics:

  • - The Fenton process for dye removal
  • - MOF-based and graphene oxide photocatalysts for dye degradation
  • - Novel photocatalysts active in visible light and IR spectra
  • - Photocatalytic degradation of transition metal dichalcogenides
  • - Environment friendly synthesis of photocatalysts for dye degradation
  • - Metal oxide Nanomaterials for dye degradation

This volume is a comprehensive singular resource on photocatalytic dye degradation for researchers, apprentices and learners in chemistry and chemical engineering courses. It also serves as a reference for industry professionals who work with chemical dyes (for example in textile and plastic industries) and are engaged in the critical field of environmental remediation.

Readership

Scholars in chemistry and chemical engineering; professionals in manufacturing industries and environmental sustainability.

Foreword

Regarding the environmental aspects, dye removal is more crucial. The “process” of eliminating dyes is just as significant because it has various economic and chemical effects. Degrading or removing dyes needs to be low-energy and safe for the environment. Once more, the process of chemical degradation will result in environmental hazards. High energy consumption will also result in environmental issues since there will be a greater energy demand. For this reason, the best method for meaningful dye degradation or removal will be to use reusable, effective materials that require less energy.

The editors in volume I have already covered basic aspects of dye degradation. In volume II, the editors address efficient degradation through light, a benign and sustainable energy source, and absorption for removing dyes. Given that the energy required for photochemical dye degradation is found in nature, this is an intriguing aspect of dye degradation. Numerous kinds of photocatalysts for dye degradation are covered in this book. Various materials for effective photodegradation are discussed in this volume. The relevant chapters justify the materials' suitability and go into great detail about their inherent qualities.
