Photocatalytic generation of sulphate and hydroxyl radicals using zinc oxide under low-power UV to oxidise phenolic contaminants in wastewater

Photochemical and photocatalytic reaction and the combination of both for the oxidation of phenol in aqueous solution were investigated. Photochemical reaction was carried out using three different types of oxidants in the presence of UV radiation while photocatalytic reaction was carried out on zin...
