Phenol degradation in aqueous solutions using chitosan prepared from Crassostrea gigas (Sea oyster) shells as adsorbent was investigated using photocatalysis and adsorption processes at ambient temperature. Photolysis was carried out to study the effect of light on the degradation of phenol at ambie...
