Facile fabrication of novel Z-scheme g-CN nanosheets/ BiOI photocatalysts with highly rapid photodegradation of RhB under visible light irradiation.

A simple and economical hydrothermal method has efficiently been utilized in the fabrication of a novel CN nanosheet/BiOI Z-scheme heterojunction. The synthesis process was carried out under ordinary temperature and pressure without any poisonous ingredients. Different techniques, such as EDX, XRD, FESEM, FTIR, UV-Vis, DRS, PL, and BET, were employed to analyze the as-prepared nanocomposite.

Response surface methodology optimizing the adsorptive removal of azithromycin using mesoporous silica SBA-15: Mechanism, thermodynamic, equilibrium, and kinetics modeling studies.

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.
