The photocatalytic degradation of nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 was studied by a batch process using ZnO commercial powders as the catalyst on irradiation with UV light and its behaviour comparatively with respect to ZnO nanoparticles with diameter size 20 nm. The effects of different conditions such as catalyst type, amount of the photocatalyst, pH of the system, initial concentration and electron acceptors were investigated on degradation. The results showed that the photocatalytic degradation of Triton X-I00 was strongly influenced by these parameters. Therefore, the best conditions for the photocatalytic degradation of Triton X-100 were obtained.
