In a close collaboration, researchers from University of Hormozgan, Tarbiat Modares University, and Razi University have successfully synthesized a nanosized photocatalyst for the efficient elimination of ubiquitous contaminants in refinery wastewater. Unknown for full-scale results, the laboratory-scale experimentations of the as-synthesized nanosized photocatalysts for wastewater treatment applications have confirmed the elimination of organic contaminants by 80 % at Bandar Abbas oil refinery.
