PROCESS FOR THE PHOTOOXIDATIC DEMOLITION OF THE ORGANIC POLUTION OF WATER WITH THE APPLICATION OF THE ORGANOPHIL BENTONITE

摘要

Aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants are removed from waters by catalytic photo-oxidation. Contaminated waters are treated with an organophilic mineral clay adsorbing agent (bentonite) for the selective adsorption of aromatic hydrocarbon derivative contaminants. Adsorbed compounds are photooxidised in the presence of titanium-oxide catalyst. Oxidation leads to simultaneous regeneration of adsorbing agent.
