Noble-metal-free hydroxyapatite activated by facile mechanochemical treatment towards highly-efficient catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compound

Abstract Controlling of volatile organic compound (VOC) emitted from industrial processes as most abundant and harmful air pollutant, has become one of the most important global environmental issues due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization. As an alternative and new type catalyst instead...
