In this study, a magnetic perovskite nanohybrid based on g-CN (gCN) nanosheets was synthesized and developed for the efficient photodegradation of toxic environmental pollutants under short-time visible irradiation. The synthesis of this nanohybrid involved the incorporation of SrTiO:N (STO:N) and ZnFeO (ZnF) onto the g-CN nanosheets through a simple reflux method. Our investigation encompassed a comprehensive suite of analytical techniques, including BET, TGA, TEM, SEM, EDX, DRS, VSM, XRD, photocurrent, and FT-IR, to elucidate the physicochemical characteristics of this nanocomposite in the context of its application in photodegradation processes.

The objective of this research was to study an effective adsorbent for removing azithromycin (AZT) from industrial wastewater. AZT is an antibiotic used for many diseases remedy, but it is a pollutant to our environment; therefore, its residual should be removed from wastewater. The mesoporous SBA-15 silica as an efficient adsorbent was prepared by the hydrothermal method.

In this paper, the Taguchi experimental design was applied to establish the optimum condition for the removal of crystal violet (CV) dye using keratin nanoparticles obtained from human hair waste. The average diameter of keratin particles was found about 63.
