Photocatalytic Degradation of Ionic Liquid in Wastewater under Visible Light

Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained its reputation as the green solvent in industry. Due to its characteristics as a good solvent, stable ILs that is discharged into wastewater cannot be degraded easily. Presence of ILs in wastewater is a threat to environment because it has high tendency to act as s...
