Photocatalytic degradation of Triton X-100 using nano ZnO catalyst supported by Iranian natural zeolite

In this investigation photocatalytic degradation of nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 in water was studied. Zinc oxide was supported on Clinoptilolite (CP) (Iranian Natural Zeolite) using the solid-state dispersion (SSD) method. The results show that the ZnO /Clinoptilolite (SSD) is an active photocatalyst. The maximum effect of photodegradation was observed at 50 wt % ZnO, 50wt % Clinoptilolite. The effects of some parameters such as pH, amount of photocatalyst and effect of electron acceptor were examined
