Ms. Tumbaga, Caressa Tila-on and Ms. Fe Corazon Berbon Loreto (Feb - Aug, 2017)

Ms. Tumbaga, Caressa Tila-on

M. Eng Candidate (Environmental Engineering)

University of the Philippines Diliman

Research Topic: Photocatalytic degradation of alachlor and amoxicillin on Zn-N-TiO2 under UV and visible irradiations

Research scopes:

• Parametric studies of the synthesis parameters (effect of dopant amount, calcination temperature, calcination time, etc) and optimization of synthesis parameters of Zn-N-TiO2 and application to alachlor/amoxicillin degradation

• Effect of operating parameters (solution pH, pollutant concentration, visible light intensity, etc) on the degradation of alachlor/amoxicillin using Zn-N-TiO2 photocatalysts and investigate catalyst reusability

• Kinetics of degradation of alachlor/amoxicillin using Zn-N-TiO2 photocatalysts
