Abstract
M) within 120 min using only 20 mg catalyst. This simultaneous removal of pharmaceuticals and dyes in a single photocatalytic process demonstrates the potential of dual-pollutant degradation. The single-platform capability for degrading structurally diverse pollutants suggests that noble metal-modified ZnO warrants further investigation as a multifunctional photocatalyst for treating complex wastewater containing mixed organic contaminants.
