The sunlight mediated photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RB) dye was studied
using hydrothermally prepared ZnO (T= 150° C and P∼ 20–30 bars). Zinc chloride was …

Microwave (MW) chemistry has been studied widely in the field of organic wastewater
treatment due to its rapid heating at the molecular level and its “hot spots” effect on the …

Composites were prepared from metal–organic framework (MOF; copper-containing HKUST-
