Photodegradation of Cu(II) Soaps derived from Edible & Non Edible Oils

The book explores the promising field of photocatalysis and its diverse applications in energy, environmental remediation, and pollution control. It details the synthesis of Cu (II) soaps from various fatty acids and oils, supported by spectral studies like IR and NMR for structural analysis. The research includes the photocatalytic degradation of these soaps using ZnO as a semiconductor, examining factors such as soap concentration, semiconductor quantity, light intensity, and solvent polarity on degradation rates.
