All rights reserved.In this study, TiO2/ZnO nanocomposite (TZC) photocatalysts were successfully prepared through a sol-gel process fol-lowed by calcination. TZC photocatalyst characterization was performed by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM and UV-vis diffuse reflec-tance spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalytic activity of the TZC photocatalyst is studied systematically by the degradation of humic acid (HA) from aqueous solutions under visible light irradiation. Photodegradation of HA from aqueous solutions shows excellent photocatalytic activity. The rate of photocatalytic degradation increases with increasing catalyst loading and light inten-sity. From kinetic studies, it showed that HA photodegradation using TZC photocatalysts can be explained by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The results also show that this method has excellent potential to remove HA from peat water.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Humic acid,Nanocomposite,Photocatalyst,Photocatalytic degradation,TiO2/ZnO[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors are very grateful to Institut Teknologi Bandung for their financial support through Penelitian Tera-pan Unggulan Perguruan Tinggi 2017/2018.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.14456/sjst-psu.2020.57[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
