Ball-milled synthesis of maize biochar-ZnO nanocomposite (MB-ZnO) and estimation of its photocatalytic ability against different organic and inorganic pollutants

Different industrial and agricultural practices release a variety of dyes and pesticides in soil and water. Degradation of these pollutants is very important to avoid health and environmental issues. In this study, the photocatalysis technique has been optimized and adopted to degrade organic and in...
