Abstract

The photodegradation of organic compounds in aqueous solutions using environment-friendly materials, methods and processes is a topic of growing interest. A great interest regarding this subject has been devoted to photocatalysts for the oxidative photodegradation of various organic pollutants. In this context, some natural and synthetic zeolites impregnated with metalloporphyrins and metallophtalocyanines were studied in this paper. The metalloporphyrins and metallophtalocyanines used for impregnation were prepared in agreement with the scientific reports. After impregnation, the porphyrin – zeolite systems were investigated for their photocatalytic activity in the oxidation reaction of aromatic compounds. A comparison of the photoreactivity of the newly obtained photocatalytic materials was discussed..
