Water Purification Using Synthetic Melanin
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe goal of this project was to investigate the photocatalytic properties of synthetic Melanin and use it as a means to disinfect and purify water. The project started by synthesizing Melanin and analyzing its chemical properties. Then, the synthesized Melanin was used as a photocatalyst to photodegrade different added water pollutants such as p-Nitrophenol and Methylene blue. The project concluded by benchmarking the Melanin photocatalytic performance with traditional water treatment means such as using Titanium dioxide.
