Assessment of solar photocatalysis using Ag/BiVO 4 at pilot solar Compound Parabolic Collector for inactivation of pathogens in well water and secondary effluents

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as photocatalysis driven by natural sunlight have been demonstrated to be a promising technology for degradation of hazardous chemical compounds and inactivation of microorganisms in water. Among already exiting photocatalysts, for solar water treatment, currently visible light-active photocatalysts such as bismuth vanadate (BiVO4), have received much attention from researchers. This work reports on the...
