Photocatalytic activity of NiO - clinoptilolite nano-particles in the photodegradation of cefixime as a pollutant

In order to synthesis NiO/NCP photocatalyst, NiO was incorporated onto clinoptilolite nano particles and characterized. The obtained compound was used in photodegradation of cefixime aqueous solution. The best experimental conditions were obtained as: 0.025 g L−1 of the photocatalyst containing 13.3% NiO, 50 times diluted cefixime solution and pH 5.
