Claims11
A nanocomposite material comprising 2D/0D bio-sludge or biochar/TiO2, wherein the nanocomposite material is supported on a support structure, wherein the bio-sludge or biochar comprises metal elements, and
- wherein the support structure comprises carbon nanotubes or a mesoporous material, or wherein the support structure is a substrate that comprises one or more of a ceramic, graphene, a metal, a metal oxide, a metal alloy, or a polymer.
A fixed bed photoreactor system, which comprises:
- a reactor chamber comprising an inlet, an outlet, and a glass window for passing light irradiation;
- and
- a fixed bed of nanocomposite material comprising 2D/0D bio-sludge or biochar/TiO2 disposed within the reactor chamber.
