PLATAFORMA SOLAR DE ALMERÍA Figure 4.8 Image of Fusarium equiseti macroconidia dyed with malachite green with phase contrast optical microsope (x1000), before (left) and after 5 hours of photocatalytic treatment (right) (dcha.) [4.5]. 4.8). Optical microscope observations of the spores of this phytopathogenic fungus during testing showed a clear tendency to adsorption of TiO 2 particles and aggregates on its surface. 4.2.7 National Plan for Access to the PSA. Participants: Instituto de Catálisis y Petroleoquímica, CSIC (Madrid), Univ. Autónoma de Barcelona, Univ. Santiago de Compostela, Polytechnic Univ. Valencia (2), Universidad de Barcelona Contact: Dr. Manuel I. Maldonado. mignacio.maldonado@psa.es Funding: National RD&I Plan, MEC. CIEMAT budget in 2006: Duration: 2005 – 2007 Motivation: As CIEMAT directives are to promote knowledge of renewable energies in Spanish society, in 2006 it made available to the scientific community the PSA facilities and consulting services of its technical-scientific staff through the MEC “Improvement of Large Scientific Installations and Access in the Framework of National Program of Scientific and Technological Research Equipment and Infrastructure” program (http://www.mec.es/ciencia/ jsp/plantilla.jsp?area=instalaciones&id=21). Purpose: The basic purpose is to provide access to the largest number of researchers possible, Ph.D. students, research trainees and senior researchers in National Plan projects. The Water Detoxification and Disinfection Group also intends for this program to increase collaboration with existing in Spanish research groups, identify new partners for future projects, contribute ideas from visitors and motivate us to maintain and improve the facilities. Objectives achieved 2006: Researchers selected by the external evaluation committee belonging to Spanish research groups have achieved the following results: Polytechnic Univ. Valencia (UPV), Ana García Ripoll. Scale-up to pilot plant size of photocatalytic photo-Fenton degradation of the pesticides, Laition® and Metasixtox®. Detoxification of mixtures of four commercial pesticides were studied, comparing the different methods for determining the toxicity and/or biodegradability of the effluent. These results, along with others found previously, form the basis of a publication that is being jointly written by the 82
ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS OF SOLAR ENERGY PSA and the UPV entitled, ““Decontamination of aqueous solutions containing four commercial pesticides by means of solar-driven photo-Fenton process”. Polytechnic Univ. Valencia (UPV), Antonio Arqués Sanz. Scale-up to pilot plant size of photocatalytic photo-Fenton degradation of the pesticides, Laition® and Metasixtox®. Results found with the toxicity/biodegradability methods used at the PSA (Zahn-Welles, MicroTox) were analyzed and compared with those used by the UPV (inhibition of activated sludge respiration and DBO5 and respirometry). Instituto de Catálisis y Petroleoquímica-CSIC. Cristina Adán Delgado. Increase in biodegradability and elimination of persistent contaminants in aqueous effluents by oxidation. The photo-efficiency of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) doped with Fe synthesized by reverse microemulsion with the commercial Degussa P-25 TiO 2 applying both catalysts to aqueous solutions of ethidium bromide. It was demonstrated that incorporation of ethidium bromide in the molecular structure of the TiO 2 particle does not improve ethidium bromide photodegradation efficiency achieved with commercial Degussa P-25 TiO 2 . Figure 4.9 Comparison of solar inactivation of C. parvum oocyst suspensions in borosilicate glass and polypropilene bottles exposed to real sunlight Univ. Santiago de Compostela. Fernando Méndez Hermida. Study of solaronly inactivation (SODIS) of infective Cryptosporidium sp. Inactivation of C.parvum oocysts in water with natural solar radiation was demonstrated, and solar photocatalysis with supported TiO 2 was shown to improve these disinfection results [4.4]. Univ.Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB). Julia García Montaño. Pilot plant degradation of reactive azodyes by solar-assisted photo-Fenton. Two commercial azodyes, Procion Red H-E7B and Cibacron Red FN-R, both representative of the textile industry, were studied in a combined photo-Fenton/biological treatment. With only 225 mg l -1 of H 2 O 2 (Cibacron Red) and 65 mg l -1 of H 2 O 2 (Procion Red) the dye solutions became sufficiently biodegradable to discharge into the bioreactor [4.2]. 83
