Photocatalytic activity of low – density polyethylene [LDPE] under visible light using zinc oxcide [ZnO] and titanium dioxide [TiO2] as photocatalyst / Hazirah Haron

Every day, thousands of tons of pollutants, including plastic, are released into the environment due to various natural phenomena and human acts in this world (Obebe & Adamu, 2020). When plastic waste is not adequately handled, these plastic wastes litter to surroundings which can harm wildlife,...
