  • Photocatalytic degradation of contaminant in waste water using laser light source
    Patent number: 9944540
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2018
    Assignee: Umm-Al-Qura University
