Abstract:Effective production of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) is essential
for advanced oxidation processes in water treatment. This research
delves into the enhancement of photo-Fenton response using an unconventional
catalyst, zinc-oxide/carbon hierarchical nanocomposite microspheres
(ZnO/C HNMs), to facilitate the photocatalytic oxidation of pollutants.
Among the investigated electron-donating organic ligands, ethylenediaminetetraacetic
acid (EDTA) exhibited the most significant impact. Through in-situ UV-irradiate… Show more
