MUMBAI, India, Jan. 3 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102386 A) filed by Dr. Rahul; Mr. Alok Raj; Dr. Bharti Kumari; Dr. Shravan Kumar; Mr. Dheeraj Kumar; Dr. Ram Babu; and Dr Aruna Kumari Nakkella, Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, on Oct. 24, 2025, for 'hybrid photocatalytic-electrochemical framework for high-efficiency degradation of organic pollutants in industrial effluents.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Rahul; Mr. Alok Raj; Dr. Bharti Kumari; Dr. Shravan Kumar; Mr. Dheeraj Kumar; Dr. Ram Babu; and Dr Aruna Kumari Nakkella.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A hybrid photocatalytic-electrochemical system (100) for degrading organic pollutants in industrial effluents is disclosed. The system (100) comprises a photocatalytic reactor (102) that utilizes ultraviolet (UV) or visible light radiation in the presence of a photocatalyst to degrade pollutants. An electrochemical cell (104) is coupled to the photocatalytic reactor (102) and applies an electric field to facilitate electrochemical oxidation or reduction of residual pollutants. A pollutant monitoring unit (106) analyzes the concentration of organic pollutants before and after treatment, providing real-time data. A control module (108) operatively connects to the photocatalytic reactor (102) and the electrochemical cell (104), dynamically adjusting parameters such as light intensity, electric current, and effluent flow rate to optimize degradation efficiency. This integrated system (100) offers an efficient, adaptable, and scalable solution for the treatment of industrial effluents, ensuring compliance with environmental discharge standards while minimizing energy consumption."
