摘要: Abstract Modification of ZnO nanoparticles with graphene oxide (GO) was carried out, and the obtained hybrid photocatalyst used for photodegradation triclosan (TCS), which is an endocrine disrupting compound. Three different concentrations GO were to modify catalyst using photoirradiation method resultant materials characterised by SEM, TEM, Zeta Potential, FTIR, Raman, N2 Physisorption, HPLC, XRD UV–vis spectrophotometry in order determine their physico-chemical photocatalytic properties. Regarding evaluation, results process TCS showed that acts as a trap electrons improving performance even at low concentration (8 mg.L−1) under visible light radiation. The GO-modified composite contains highest (0.5% w/w) material best degrading up 45% initial reaction rate constant two times higher than pristine zinc oxide. This study allowed us propose mechanism ZnO/GO photocatalysts degrade TCS. In addition, this research contributes understanding enhancement efficiency hybrids obtaining photoactive promising use natural radiation Advance Oxidation Process eliminate endocrine-disrupting compounds such triclosan.
