Mineralization study of the reactive red-4 [RR4] dye under photodegradation via immobilized silver [Ag] TiO2 photocatalyst / Nurfarhanah Nadzira Che Razak

The organic dyes from the textile industry released to the water body might result in environmental effects which these dyes are high toxicity and non-biodegradability that must be treated using the photocatalysis process to degrade organic compounds into harmless chemicals. Therefore, several modif...
