Schematic illustration of the formation of ZnO-TiO2/Clay photocatalysts. Highlights ZnO-TiO2/Clay photocatalyst prepared using natural clay ZnO-TiO2/Clay shows higher activity than TiO2/Clay in methyl green degradation ZnO has a promoting effect on photocatalytic activity Almost omplete mineralization upon 30 min UVA irradiation
. Photocatalytic decolorization of cationic and anionic dyes over ZnO nanoparticle immobilized on natural Tunisian clay. Applied Clay Science, Elsevier, 2018Elsevier, , 152, pp.148 -157. 10.1016Elsevier, /j.clay.2017 In the present work we describe a simple and low-cost method for the decolorization of textile 23 dyeing and printing wastewaters, using ZnO as photocatalyst supported on natural Tunisian clay 24 (ZnO/Clay). This composite ZnO/Clay material was synthesized through a sol-gel method. X-25 ray diffraction (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
