In this work, synthesis process parameters of Zinc Oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) photocatalyst is optimized using Taguchi Method to obtain the highest degradation rate of Methylene Blue dye, MB. The Taguchi L27 (38) orthogonal array technique was used to determine the optimum conditions for the synthesis...
