ABSTRACT
Experimental study on microwave assisted photocatalytic degradation of phenol in aqueous solution was carried out with modified domestic microwave oven, electrodeless discharge lamps (EDLs) and TiO2 catalyst. Results showed that the removal rate of phenol in the MAPC process was 92% after 30 min reaction. Loss of total organic carbon (TOC) was 84% . The optimal conditions for the MAPC method were 10 mg/L phenol, 900 W MW output energy, 50 mL solution volume, EDLs-3, 1-4 g/l. catalyst dosage and 15 mL/min of flowing velocity in the circulating mode. The MAPC process was promising in treating phenolic waste water.

In order to detect the permethrin (Py) residue in environment samples, Ovalbumin(OVA)was used as protein carrier to couple with semi-antigen permethrin by active ester method. Indirect competitive ELISA (icELISA) was established. The most appropriate titration of coating antigen was 0.45 microg/mL and optimal dilution was 1/2 500 correspondingly. The standard curve of icELISA was also established and the curve indicated that the lowest detection limit was 0.l microg/mL, the curve had a favorable linear relation with the concentration range of 10 to approximately 800 microg/mL, recoveries of permethrin (>97%) were satisfactory.

Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in TiO(2) aqueous suspensions using microwave (MW) powered electrodeless discharge lamps (EDLs) was studied. MB of initial concentration 100 mg/l was mainly decomposed in the process of photocatalytic degradation using EDLs (PCD/EDLs) after 15 min of irradiation. The corresponding mineralization efficiency was 45%. The influence of factors as EDLs, solution volume and TiO(2) catalyst dosage on the decomposition of MB in the PCD/EDLs process was also investigated. The optimal decomposition efficiency was observed when EDLs-4 (four 10 mm x 50 mm EDLs), solution volume of 50 ml and TiO(2) catalyst dosage of 1-4 g/l were used in the study. The PCD/EDLs process was promising in treating MB polluted water.
