Greener photocatalysts : Hydroxyapatite derived from waste mussel shells for the photocatalytic degradation of a model azo dye wastewater

This paper demonstrates for the first time the feasibility of utilising waste mussel shells for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (denoted as HAP) to be used as a greener, renewable photocatalyst for recalcitrant wastewater remediation. HAP was synthesised from Perna canaliculus (gree...
