Strategic fabrication of PVP caped CuO hetero-catalyst for degradation of Eosin Y: a decontamination study

Fabrication of a symbiotic polyvinyl alcohol-functionalized NiO/rGO nanoadsorbent for control of bisphenol-a removal

“…S1, ESI †). Moreover, the influence of pH on removal of BPA was investigated through point of zero charge for a synthesized NiO/rGO composite material within the pH range (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) respectively. The point of zero charge of the adsorbent material was calculated to be 8.2, indicated that the adsorbent can easily attract negatively charge molecules.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Various environmental pollutants, including synthetic organic compounds, heavy metal ions, etc., are released by different industrial sectors on a daily basis into aquatic environments. [7][8][9][10][11][12] However, some pollutants, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which include synthetic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), have garnered significant attention due to their high toxicity and adverse effects on the environment and human health. [13][14][15] Among them, bisphenol A (BPA), also known as 4,4-dihydroxy-2,2-diphenylpropane, is classified as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC).…”

MXene-based nanocomposites: emerging candidates for the removal of antibiotics, dyes, and heavy metal ions

“…Several studies have shown that the chemical stability of these drugs is very high under normal conditions and cannot easily degrade in aqueous systems. 25,[127][128][129][130][131][132] Therefore, MXene-based nanocomposites have been widely investigated to effectively degrade these antibiotic drugs due to their excellent catalytic properties as host materials with other nanostructures to enhance their catalytic properties and reusability. 133 Furthermore, the photocatalytic systems function by the interaction between light energy and photocatalyst material.…”

“…[170][171][172][173] Annually, 8 Â 10 5 tons of synthetic organic dyes are produced worldwide, which causes environmental pollution. 18,129,171,174,175 Various mechanisms have been reported for the effective separation of organic dyes from wastewater using MXene-based membranes. Mainly, electrostatic interactions such as hydrogen bonding and p-p interaction are responsible for the enhanced removal of dyes through MXene-based membranes.…”

Fabrication of CuO derived reduced graphene oxide photocatalyst for strategic decolorization of congo red from aqueous environment

“…But these developed methods have some serious drawbacks such as time consuming, ineffective and expensive, thus these methods are not suitable for industries operating at small level. Moreover, over these traditional developed methods the photocatalytic degradation of CR dye from wastewater is one of the most recommended methods because of its capability, simplicity, and reusability, cost-effective and quick oxidation than other methods [19][20][21].…”
