Photocatalytic Performance of TiO<sub>2</sub>-ZnAl LDHBased Materials: Kinetics and Neural NetworksApproach

Over the past few years, due to large-scale industrialization water pollution has considerably increased in ecosystems and has become a rising aquatic environmental problem.The use of organic dyes in different industries lead to substantial amounts of colored wastewater [1].It has been stated in the literature that 70% of these dyes impose as complex synthetic, hazardous azo structures and around 12-15% are discharged into the environment untreated causing severe threat to human health and environmental safety [2].Rhodamine B (RhB) and Methylene Blue (MB) are the most frequently used dyes in paper, plastic, textile industries and can have mutagenic and toxic properties impacting the environment causing serious acute and chronic health issues in living organisms
