In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of batik wastewater in the presence of zinc oxide (ZnO) as photocatalyst was investigated. The effect of various operating parameters, such as pH of batik wastewater, catalyst dosage and aeration on the photocatalytic degradation process, was examined. T...
