Optimized treatment conditions for textile wastewater reuse using photocatalytic processes under UV and visible light sources.
Maria Clara V.M. Starling,Luiz Augusto da Silva Castro,Rafaela Brito Portela Marcelino,Mônica Maria Diniz Leão,Camila C. Amorim +4 more
TL;DR: Treated wastewater was compared with reclaimed water and had a similar quality, indicating that these processes can be effectively applied for textile wastewater reuse, and preliminary cost analysis indicated costs of 0.91 to 1.07 US$ m−3 for conventional and ferrioxalate photo-Fenton systems.

The influence of location on solar photo-Fenton: Process performance, photoreactor scaling-up and treatment cost
A. Cabrera Reina,S. Miralles-Cuevas,Lorena Cornejo,Luis Martin Pomare Pomares,Jesús Polo,Isabel Oller,Sixto Malato +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the efficiency of solar photo-Fenton treatment is related to ambient conditions, as it depends on solar irradiance levels and operation temperature, consequently, it is highly influenced by plant location.
