Photodegradation of tebuconazole mediated by a novel hybrid phenalenone based photosensitizer

Palygorskite–TiO2 nanocatalysts for photocatalytic degradation of tebuconazole in water

“…TEB is photostable under UV and visible irradiation (Godard et al, 2021). For the measurement of the photocatalytic activity of the tested nanocomposites, a cylindrical reactor was used, with four black light fluorescent tubes (4 W nominal power per each) placed around it (Figure 1S).…”

“…The surface area and pore size distribution of the composites were determined according to the Brunauner-Emmet-Teller method and the use of a Micromeritics Tristar 3000. The nitrogen sorption-desorption isotherms were obtained by degassing each sample at 100 C for 3 h.Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (EQUINOX 55 FTIR spectrometer-BRUKER) equipped with the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) Miracle accessory of PIKE technologies (diamond crystal) was performed for the verification of the sufficient preparation of the TiO 2 -palygorskite photocatalyst.2.3 | Characterization of photocatalytic activityTEB is photostable under UV and visible irradiation(Godard et al, 2021).
