Fabrication of photocatalytic TiO2 particles onto PET-g-PAAc fabric has been succeeded by ultrasonic-gamma irradiation methods. Ultrasonic irradiation assisted for good distribution of TiO2 particles onto the surface of PET fabric in a uniform manner at ambient conditions. The product modify PET fabric was characterized by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) confirmed the grafting of COOH groups onto PET fabric. SEM images revealed a good dispersed and adherent obtained TiO2 particle onto PET fabric. Results obtained from X-ray diffraction indicating TiO2 (Degussa P25) in the anatase and rutile phases. The degradation process of three different dyes remazol red, amido black and toluidine blue from aqueous solutions by TiO2@PET-g-PAAc was investigated using modified photo reactor. It was found that decoluorization of toluidine blue was 99 % after 60 min. The reused of TiO2@PET-g-PAAc showed that the activity of TiO2@PET-g-PAAc for degradation still remained good which conclude that PET fabric makes TiO2 easily recovered, which overcomes the disadvantage of separation difficulty of common catalyst after or through degradation processing.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of photocatalysis/hydrogen peroxide/metal membrane system. Metal membrane for the separation of TiO2 particles was used in an experiment and nominal pore size is 0.5 μm. Hydrogen peroxide was tested as oxidants. The removal efficiency of CODCr and color for initial hydrogen peroxide concentration increases rapidly with an increase in the hydrogen peroxide concentration up to 50 mg/L. The removal efficiency of of CODCr and color for 50 mg/L of initial hydrogen peroxide concentration was about 95 % and 98 %, respectively. However, the addition of hydrogen peroxide over 50 mg/L inhibits the system efficiency. The addition of hydrogen peroxide in UV/TiO2 system enhanced removal efficiency of CODCr and color compared to no addition of hydrogen peroxide. This may be ascribed to capture the electrons ejected from TiO2 and to produce OH radicals. The application of metal membrane in UV/ TiO2/H2O2 system enhanced removal efficiency of CODCr and color due to the adsorption of metal membrane surface as well as the production of OH radical. In application of metal membrane with nominal pore size 0.5 μm, TiO2 particles were effectively separated from the treated water by metal membrane rejection. Photocatalytic metal membrane was much smaller resistance than these of humic acid, TiO2 and humic acid/ TiO2 due to humic acid degradation of photocatalytic reaction.

Epoxidized dialdehyde cellulose (EDC) was prepared and grafted with melamine to obtain melamine grafted epoxidized dialdehyde cellulose (EDC-melamine); the products were characterized by various methods and were used as carriers to immobilize laccase. Results show EDC-melamine can immobilize laccase effectively and have higher enzymatic activity compared with EDC. Furthermore, the enzymatic activity of EDC-melamine was found to be as high as 865 U•mg-1, compared with 140U•mg-1 for EDC. The removal efficiency of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) for EDC-melamine immobilized laccase was about 71.5% at 40°C for 4 h at 10.0 mg•L-1 and dosage of laccase = 0.2 g/L. The removal efficiency can remain greater than 63%, even after six cycles.

Heavy metal ions contamination has become more serious which is caused by the releasing of toxic water from industrial area and landfill that are very harmful to all living organism especially human and can even cause death if contaminated in small amount of heavy metal concentration. Currently, peoples are using classic method namely electrochemical treatment, chemical oxidation/reduction, chemical precipitation and reverse osmosis to eliminate the metal ions from toxic water. Unfortunately, these methods are costly and not environmentally friendly as compared to bioadsorption method, where agricultural waste is used as biosorbent to remove heavy metals. Two types of agricultural waste used in this research namely oil palm mesocarp fiber (Elaesis guineensis sp.) (OPMF) and mangrove bark (Rhizophora apiculate sp.) (MB) biomass. Through chemical treatment, the removal efficiency was found to improve. The removal efficiency is examined based on four specification namely dosage, of biosorbent to adsorb four types of metals ion explicitly nickel, lead, copper, and chromium. The research has found that the removal efficiency of MB was lower than OPMF; whereas, the multiple metals ions removal efficiency decreased in the order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Ni2+ > Cr2+.
