Adsorption and photocatalytic removal of dimethylarsenic acid using titania and zinc oxide thiol functionalized ZSM-5 zeolite
This research is to correlate physicochemical properties of metal oxides-ZSM-5 functionalized thiol with their catalytic properties towards adsorption and photocatalytic removal of dimethylarsenic acid (DMA). TiO2 and ZnO were attached on the surface of the ZSM-5 zeolite by impregnation. The impregn...
