- Title
Editorial Catalysts: Catalysis for the Removal of Water Pollutants.
- Authors
Palomares, Antonio Eduardo
- Abstract
This document provides an overview of the importance of water quality and the issue of water pollution, with a focus on its impact on human health and ecosystems. It emphasizes the need for safe and accessible water for all, as recognized by the United Nations. The document highlights the role of catalysis, particularly photocatalysis, in addressing water pollution by degrading organic pollutants. It includes examples of catalysts and their effectiveness in degrading specific pollutants. The document also discusses the use of traditional catalytic processes and the combination of catalytic and photocatalytic processes for water treatment. It specifically examines the use of zero-valent metal-based persulfate activation systems, such as zero-valent copper, for the removal of organic pollutants like Orange G dye. The document also reviews the application of nanocatalysts in wastewater purification, discussing recent studies and identifying challenges for their practical implementation. It emphasizes the importance of conducting research under real-world conditions and the need for catalysts that are active, stable, selective, and environmentally friendly. The document concludes by acknowledging the authors' contributions and expressing hope that their work will contribute to solving water pollution challenges.
