Bacterial Inactivation and Organic Pollutant Degradation in Slaughterhouse Wastewater Using Ag2O/Ba/TiO2 Nanocomposite
Slaughterhouses generate a huge amount of highly polluted wastewater; if left untreated, this effluent could seriously threaten the environment and human health. In the present study, Ag2O/Ba/TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized using the precipitation method, and its efficacy was investigated for the remediation of real slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) under visible light. Its performance was assessed for the inactivation of bacterial strains identified in SWW and for the degradation of total organic solids, volatile solids, fixed solids, and heavy metals. The results indicated an excellent photocatalytic performance of the synthesized Ag2O/Ba/TiO2 nanocomposites, confirmed by 87.3% volatile solids, 30% total organic solids, and 40% fixed solids removal from SWW. The zone of inhibition runs from 4 to 9 mm, and the nanocomposites have demonstrated outstanding bacterial inactivation activity in this range. It has been shown that the synthetic Ag2O/Ba/TiO2 nanocomposites can function as an effective photocatalyst for the remediation of SWW and other waste products produced by various industries worldwide.
