Efficient photodegradation of paracetamol by TiO2/ZnO photocatalyst and prediction via Fuzzy Inference System

  A facile chemical mixing approach was used to prepare TiO2/ZnO photocatalystswith different mass ratios. The photodegradation activity was tested against paracetamol in an aqueous phase assisted by low UVC-light intensity (9 W). TiO2/ZnO particles mainly exhibited irregular shapes with uniform distributions and high crystallinity degree, the primary oxidation state in the structure is titanium […]

Porous and Bifunctional ZnO-Hydroxyapatite Nanostructure for Photocatalytic Degradation of Paracetamol and Methylene Blue in Water

Porous ZnO-hydroxyapatite nanocomposite was prepared by dissolution of a rock phosphate ore in an acidic medium followed by alkaline precipitation. Its photocatalytic activity was assessed for the degradation of paracetamol as one of the most commonly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs and methylene blue as dye model. Thanks to its good porosity, the 40ZnHAp nanocomposite adsorbed the […]
