Natural zeolite is a widely used material with excellent environmental cleaning performance, especially in water and wastewater treatment. Natural zeolite (Z) calcined by CO-laser radiation (ZL) was tested as a catalyst for the photodegradation and the adsorption of industrial azo dye Lanasol Yellow 4G (LY4G) in water. Morphology, chemical structure, and surface composition of Z and ZL were analyzed by XRD, SEM, EDS, and XPS.

Cellulose was produced by the modified traditional method with 35% yield from the stem of Sosnovsky hogweed and was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For , the degree of crystallinity (approximately 70%) and the glass transition temperature (105-108 °C) were determined. It was found that the whiteness characteristic in the case of was 92% and this significate was obtained without a bleaching procedure using chlorine-containing reagents.
