Immobilization of ZnO increased the breakthrough time and removal capacity by 51 and 57%, respectively, in optimal conditions. The catalytic potential of the ZnO/GAC (86.5%) for o-xylene removal was far greater than simple GAC (13.5%), at the optimum condition. The maximum removal capacity with ZnO/GAC (3.12g o-xylene /gZnO/GAC) was observed at 100 °C, while the maximum removal capacity of simple GAC (1.37 g o-xylene/g GAC) was observed a t 20 °C. The main intermediates of the o-xylene oxidation in photocatalytic process with GAC were methanoic acid, o-nitro-p-cresol, phenylmethanal, and methyl di-phenyl-methane. ZnO/GAC can highly catalyze the degradation of o-xylene in the presence of UV, with methanoic acid being the major intermediate desorbed from the bed. The results demonstrated that the ZnO/GAC is an efficient option for the removal of VOCs and biohazards emitted from industrial streams.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>10</month><day>22</day><year>2017</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>479</first_page><last_page>488</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_02297</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.002297</doi><timestamp>1713596888</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_02297</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
