Sono-photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline and pharmaceutical wastewater using WO3/CNT heterojunction nanocomposite under US and visible light irradiations: A novel hybrid system
Abstract
WO3/CNT nanocomposites were used for sono-photocatalytic degradation of contaminated waters. Presence of US irradiation considerably improved the photocatalytic activity of WO3/CNT under visible light. Pharmaceutical wastewater was effectively treated using WO3/CNT heterostructures. As-prepared samples demonstrated an excellent stability after several cycles.
