Photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol in irradiated aqueous ZnO suspension.
This paper focuses on the destruction of aqueous 2,4-dichorophenol in ZnO suspension irradiated by low wattage UV light at 299 K. The operating variables studied include initial 2,4-dichlorophenol concentration, photocatalyst doses and pH. At 1.5 g l-1 feed concentration of ZnO and 50 mg l-1 initial...
