Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a rapid method of using a nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of a contaminant such as methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) in waste water. The degradation is carried out under a laser light wherein 100% MTBE gets degraded in a short time such as 20 minutes from the start of the irradiation.
