Results showed that presence of graphene oxide and UiO-66 with high specific surface area, great electron mobility and various functional groups make an excellent support for heteropoly acid and improve photocatalytic efficiency up to 95% for tetracycline. Furthermore, total organic carbon (TOC) analysis verified 79% mineralization of this pollutant under optimum condition. }, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Materials Engineering}, volume = {14}, number = {1}, year = {2020}, pages = {31 - 36}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10011014}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/157}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 157, 2020}, }
