Functionalization of hydroxyapatite derived from cockle (Anadara granosa) shells into hydroxyapatite–nano TiO2 for photocatalytic degradation of methyl violet

Abstract Photocatalyst of hydroxyapatite–nano TiO2 (HAp-nTiO2) was prepared from phosphatation of calcined cockle (Anadara granosa) shells followed by dispersion of nano TiO2 powder into HAp precipitate and calcination at 400 °C for 2 h. The prepared material was characterized using X-ray diffractio...
