Selvakumar, V. Ramani, K. Thirumalai, A. Arun, M. Swaminathan H C CH 3 3 Abstract: Hydrothermally synthesized Ho O -ED-HPV was 2 3 characterized by DRS-UV, FT-IR, SEM and EDX analysis.Catalyst surface has clustered microsponge-like structure with more number of cavities. To investigate the catalytic properties of Ho O -ED-HPV nanoparticles, the 2 3 HO OH photodecomposition of bisphenol-A with ultraviolet light was Bisphenol A (2, 2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, BPA) performed. Since environmental pollution crossed the threshold of natural purification, advanced oxidation process has become Keywords : Bisphenol-A, Heteropoly acid, Ho O -ED-HPV, 2 3 Photocatalyst. a must for the effective wastewater treatment with high efficiency. Nowadays, advanced oxidation processes I. INTRODUCTION specifically photocatalysis is used for the degradation of toxic chemicals. Semiconductor photocatalysis is a ‘green Pharmaceutical compounds are vital for many benefit approach’. Photocatalysts play a vital role as they can make purposes in modern society, but drug companies use of solar light. Semiconductor oxides such as titania, zinc simultaneously release chemicals that are most poisonous in oxide are widely TI - Photocatalytic efficiency of Ho2O3-ED-HPV in Bisphenol-A Removal JF - Special Issue DO - 10.35940/ijitee.b1187.1292s219 DA - 2019-12-30 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/photocatalytic-efficiency-of-ho2o3-ed-hpv-in-bisphenol-a-removal-mANdpBSg7T DP - DeepDyve ER -
