Characterization Of Regenerated Cellulose Films From Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Incorporated With Bifeo3 As A Potential Photocatalyst

There is an increasing interest in regenerated cellulose (RC) films for advanced applications using natural polymers and renewable materials. Also, photocatalytic degradation is an ecofriendly novel approach to purify waste water. Initially, RC films were isolated via solution casting process using...
