results the results showed that the pcp degradation increased with an increase in zvi dosage from 0.056 to 1.4 g/l, an increase in persulfate concentration from 2.5 to 15.0 mm/l, and an increase in zvi to ps molar ratio from 0.1 to 2.5. the optimal initial ph for pcp removal was 5.0 and the maximum removal efficiency of 70% was achieved within 120 minutes. moreover, the zvi catalyst was reused ...

A new heterogeneous photocatalyst was prepared by incorporation of methylene blue into ZSM-5 zeolite. This photocatalyst effectively absorbs light in visible range of the spectrum and when irradiated with visible light, it generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aqueous environment. Efficiency of the photocatalyst was tested on dechlorination of a model compound 4-chlorophenol and on growth ...

in present investigation, zno nanostructure was synthesized by means of a precipitation and sonochemical methods. the x-ray diffraction (xrd) pattern is shown that the wurtzite structure of zno has the hexagonal symmetry and there is no impurity. the average zno particles crystallite size was calculated about 41 nm. the sem and tem images reveal nanostructure zno particles with a cauliflower-li...
