introduction: Antibiotics are one of the most important pollutants in environments. Organic dyes
are widely used in the industry.
Methods: 25 mL of 0.25 M zinc acetate solution made in ice cold water were taken in 50 mL Teflon
lined vessels. Then, 1 g of clinoptilolite was added to reaction mixture and heated under continuous
magnetic stirring for 3 h at 100°C. After that, the product was filtered, washed with deionized water
and dried at 70 C for overnight. The prepared catalysis was investigated for degradation of methylene
blue [1].904
Results and Discussion: The photocatalytic degradation of Clinopetilolite/ZnO was investigated
for degradation of methylene blue (MB) under ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV). The
photocatalytic maximum adsorption capacity of Clinopetilolite/ZnO composite was calculated as
