چکیده مقاله :
The photocatalytic degradation of nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 was studied by a batch process using ZnOcommercial powders as the catalyst on irradiation with UV light and its behaviour comparatively with respect toZnO nanoparticles with diameter size 20 nm. The effects of different conditions such as catalyst type, amount ofthe photocatalyst, pH of the system, initial concentration and electron acceptors were investigated ondegradation. The results showed that the photocatalytic degradation of Triton X-I00 was strongly influenced bythese parameters. Therefore, the best conditions for the photocatalytic degradation of Triton X-100 wereobtained.
