In recent times, access to clean water has become increasingly difficult and one of the most important problems for the sustainability of life due to environmental pollution. Based on this thought, in this study, a multifunctional hydrogel nanocomposite (nanoclay@TiO 2 @PNVP) containing linear poly( N -vinyl pyrrolidone) (PNVP), nanoclay, and TiO 2 nanoparticles was synthesized and used as an adsorbent and photocatalyst for the adsorption-based and photocatalytic degradation-based removal of organic and pharmaceutical pollutants such as methylene blue (MB) and sildenafil citrate (SLD). The modification of the hydrogel with TiO 2 nanoparticles and nanoclay aimed to increase the adsorption capacity of the PNVP hydrogel as well as to gain photocatalytic properties for the effective removal of organic contaminants. This hybrid material, which can be cleaned in two different ways, can be reused and recycled at least 10 times. Characterization studies were carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermogravimetry, and viscosimetry techniques. Optimization studies for the adsorption-based removal of organic contaminants were carried out on MB and SLD as model organic compounds. The optimum parameters for MB were found at pH 10 of the sample solution when 50 mg of the nanoclay@TiO 2 @PNVP hydrogel nanocomposite was used for 420 min of contact time. It was observed that 99% of the MB was photocatalytically degraded within 150 min at pH 10. Our material had multifunctional applicability properties, showing high adsorption and photocatalytic performances over 99% for at least 10 times of use. For the removal of organic and pharmaceutical contaminants from wastewater, the synthesized material can be used in two treatment processes separately or in combination in one step, providing an important advantage for its usability in environmental applications.

Porous materials are often added to TiO2 photocatalysts for their superior surface area and reaction rate. Separation and recovery of spent photocatalysts is a challenge for treating industrial dye wastewater with photocatalysts to prevent environmental contamination. The objective of this research was to create a TiO2/BP composite using sol-gel technique, with the purpose of improving its effectiveness in treating wastewater containing MG dye and facilitating its separation. The synthesized TiO2/BP composite was characterized using field emission transmission electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS UV–vis), photoluminescence spectra (PL), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area and porosity analysis. Subsequently, the TiO2/BP composite that was synthesized was tested for photoactivity and compared to bare TiO2 particles. The outcomes indicated that the TiO2/BP photocatalyst had a significant boost in photocatalytic activity for decolorizing MG dye and was 3 times faster than the bare TiO2 under visible light. The results from the recyclability test showed that it maintained consistent performance for up to 4 cycles. This showed that the porous material-based photocatalytic composite has a potential application in wastewater treatment and is expected to have a broad application in wastewater treatment.
