About This Topic
This special issue aims to highlight the latest developments and innovative research in the field of photocatalytic removal of organic dyes from wastewater. With the growing environmental concerns associated with dye pollutants discharged from textile and industrial activities, there is an urgent need for efficient and sustainable photocatalytic solutions. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies focusing on:
- Design, synthesis, and characterization of novel photocatalysts.
- Mechanistic studies of photocatalytic degradation processes.
- Advanced reactor designs and process optimization for large-scale applications.
- Integration of nanotechnology and green synthesis methods in photocatalysis.
- Computational modeling and simulation of photocatalytic systems.
- Assessment of photocatalyst stability and recyclability.
- Real-world applications and pilot studies in wastewater treatment plants.
Keywords
- Photocatalysis
- Organic dye degradation
- Wastewater treatment
- Novel photocatalysts
- Environmental remediation
- Nanotechnology
- Green synthesis
- Reactor design
- Process optimization
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.
