“…Removal percentages for samples were determined as 94, 97, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100% (only UV), and 55, 70, 74.5, 85, 89.5, 94, 97, 99, and 100% (UV/ZnO) at irradiation times 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16, and 18 min, respectively. Comparison of dye removal percentages in the presence of UV alone and UV/ZnO process is shown in As shown in this figure, the dye removal percentages for the combined process (from 94 to 100% after 8 min) were more than that of the UV process alone (from 55 to 100% after 18 min).…”
