Preparation of Titania Doped Argentum Photocatalyst and its Photoactivity Towards Palm Oil Mill Effluent Degradation

This paper reports on the photocatalytic degradation of pre-treated palm oil mill effluent (POME) over titania loaded with photocatalyst. The argentum loading on the titania was varied from 0.25 to 1.0 wt% via wet-impregnation technique. X-ray diffraction characterization of all the photocatalysts s...
