In this study, essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation from the leaves of Ocimum basilicum and it was analyzed by GC-MS. Eucalyptol (11.19 %), -iso eugenol (13.

In this study by using the precipitation method, CdS/CeO/AgPO ternary nanocomposites with varied molar proportions of CdS:CeO/AgPO were produced. The catalysts' surface functional groups; morphology and crystal structures were examined using FTIR, SEM-EDX and XRD respectively.

Adsorption is one of the most common and affordable technologies widely utilized for removing inorganic pollutants such as phosphate and fluoride anions. Investigating efficient sorbents for the adsorption of these pollutants is extremely important and challenging.
