“…Various studies show that the rate of degradation of CPs is dependent on, solution pH [80][81][82][83][84] and molecular structureespecially the number of substituted Cl groups and their positions on the benzene ring relative to the hydroxyl group [85][86][87]. It is well known that the initial degradation rate of most organic pollutants with TiO 2 and other photocatalysts follows the pseudo-first-order reaction model [85,[88][89][90][91]. ), 4-CP (10 ppm) Ni (90%, 80%), Cu (90%, 73%), Fe (37%, 31%) degradation and TOC removal, respectively, in 6 h ), 4-CP concentration (50 mg L −1 ) 100% degradation in 60 min, ∼90% TOC removal in 100 min [101] CdS@TiO , pH = 5) 100%, 76% and 85% degradation in 45…”
