Interaction Effect of Process Variables on Solar-Assisted Photocatalytic Phenol Degradation in Oilfield Produced Water Over ZnO/Fe2O3 Nanocomposites
This study investigates the interaction effects of process variables on photocatalytic phenol degradation in oil produce water. A series of ZnO/Fe2O3 nanocomposite prepared using the sol-gel method and calcined at a temperature range of 400-600 oC were employed as photocatalysts. The characterizatio...
