Hybrid Ti02 in Photocatalytic Seawater Desalination : Effect of Operating Time

Titanium dioxide (Ti02) is excellently used in various applications including wastewater treatment. It is known to have superb pigmentary properties, high adsorption in the ultraviolet (UV) region, and high stability. The objective of this paper is to study the effect of contact time of seawater de...
