TL;DR: In this paper, the photocatalytic degradation of textile dyes was studied using a batch reactor and the activation energy was only about 3 to 6 kJ/mole indicating a weak temperature dependence of the rate.
Abstract: The photocatalytic decolorization of municipal wastewater contaminated with textile dyes was studied using a batch reactor. Degussa P25 titanium dioxide was used as the photocatalyst and proved to be effective for dye degradation when irradiated with UV light in the presence of air. In addition to removing the color from the wastewater, the photocatalytic reaction simultaneously reduced the COD which suggests that the dissolved organics had been oxidized. The activation energy for the photocatalytic decolorization reaction was only about 3 to 6 kJ/mole indicating a weak temperature dependence of the rate. These results suggest that the photocatalytic degradation of textile dyes may be a viable method for decolorizing and oxidizing organics in wastewater

TL;DR: The experience of Wuxi, China, underscores the suggestion that a combination of stresses associated with eutrophication and industrial and domestic wastewater discharges can push an aquatic system to the tipping point with consequences far more severe than would occur if the system were subjected to each stress separately.

TL;DR: In this article, the first and only global synthesis of information related to constructed treatment wetlands is presented, including types of constructed wetlands, major design parameters, role of vegetation, hydraulic patterns, loadings, treatment efficiency, construction, operation and maintenance costs.
Abstract: This book is the first and only global synthesis of information related to constructed treatment wetlands. Types of constructed wetlands, major design parameters, role of vegetation, hydraulic patterns, loadings, treatment efficiency, construction, operation and maintenance costs are discussed in depth. History of the use of constructed wetlands and case studies from various parts of the world are included as well.
