Degradation of cosmetic ingredient methylparaben by zinc oxide nanoparticles, aided by sonication, light or a combination of sonication and light

Parabens are frequently used in cosmetics and their high quantities in wastewater are detrimental to the ecosystem. The effect of sonication, light aid and a combination of both on nano-sized zinc oxide-mediated degradation of methylparaben (MP) was investigated using electronic spectroscopy and dif...
