Popis: In the present work, a comparative analysis of the photocatalytic degradation of phenol, was done for two different types of immobilized photocatalytic nanoparticles immobilized on 5mm sodalime beads by a facile and cost-effective method: (1) Zinc oxide (ZnO) and (2) Iron doped Zinc Oxide (Fe-ZnO). Tests of phenol degradation by using the immobilized catalyst were conducted in batch photoreactors under UVA light of 22W and summertime sunlight. These tests allowed us to evaluate the phenol degradation rate and photocatalyst durability under controlled conditions.
