Herein, a novel designed hydroxyapatite (HAp) derived from freshly calcined clamshell waste through the wet precipitation method was synthesized. HAp has been developed as a heterogeneous photocatalyst for the anionic dye methyl orange (MO) degradation. The pH on synthesizing HAp was varied in basic...
