Novel nanocomposite demonstrates ~97% photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and gentian violet in wastewater, highlighting its potential for sustainable treatment.
Key Points
The nanocomposite showed ~97% efficiency in degrading methylene blue and gentian violet, demonstrating strong photocatalytic activity under UV light.
Optimized conditions for photocatalytic activity were achieved at pH 10 with a catalyst dosage of 0.03–0.04 g in 20 mL of solution.
Characterization techniques confirmed the successful integration of all components and uniform structural morphology of the nanocomposite.
Reusability tests indicated that the nanocomposite maintained nearly 60% degradation capacity after four cycles, outperforming individual components.
