Purify Aniline Contaminants Using Solar Power
Solar-driven Wastewater Treatment of Aniline Contaminants
Tags: The University of Sydney, Australia, Energy & Environment
A novel solar-driven process removes aniline from wastewater, reducing toxicity and environmental impact. This redox reaction not only purifies water but also converts waste aniline into valuable polyaniline and 'green' hydrogen gas. The process is energy-efficient, bypasses the need for costly equipment, and emits no CO2. It offers a cheaper method for producing polyaniline, with the added benefit of hydrogen production. This innovation could revolutionize wastewater treatment, enhancing circular economy practices and compliance with environmental regulations.
