[Efficacy of photocatalytic removal of Chromium in the presence of organic matter from aqueous medium by useing TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized by sol gel]

ABSTRACT

Background and Aim: Widespread use of Chromium and their compounds in many industries, including plating, steel production, and wood protection and tanning leather, can result in the discharge of large amounts of pollutants to receiving waters, leading to toxic effects on human health and the environment. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of the photocatalytic process to remove Chromium in the presence of organic matter from the aqueous medium by using nanoparticles of TiO2 synthesized by sol gel
