Photocatalytic degradation of an organic pollutant by zinc oxide – solar process
The photocatalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol over irradiated ZnO suspensions was investigated in aerated aqueous solution. Complete degradation was achieved after irradiation with solar light, being the reaction rate dependent on the initial pH. The effect of various parameters such as catalyst l...
