In this study, zinc oxide-hydroxyapatite (ZnO-HAp) nanocomposite was prepared via hydro- thermal method for the photodegradation of levofloxacin. The effect of different HAp loadings of the nanocomposite showed that 90 % ZnO–HAp has the highest % degradation toward levo- floxacin (88.65 %). Then, th...
