Malachite green is a hazardous chemical that poses serious threats to aquatic ecosystems due to its toxicity and persistence in the environment. Additionally, it is harmful to human health, recognized as a carcinogenic and mutagenic agent that can cause long-term adverse effects. Hence, in this study, malachite green dye was efficiently removed from aqueous media using CoO/MgO/MgBO novel nanocomposites, known as CBM600 and CBM800.

Article Synopsis
  • Basic yellow 28 dye, common in textiles and leather, poses health and environmental risks like skin and respiratory issues, prompting research for effective removal methods.
  • Novel ZnO/MgBO nanostructures were developed using the Pechini sol-gel method and calcined at two different temperatures, showing varying crystal sizes and surface areas.
  • The study found that these nanostructures have high adsorption capacities for the dye, operate best at a pH of 10, and can be reused multiple times, indicating a practical solution for dye decontamination.

Crystal violet dye poses significant health risks to humans, including carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, as well as environmental hazards due to its persistence and toxicity in aquatic ecosystems. This study focuses on the efficient removal of crystal violet dye from aqueous media using novel CoO/Co(BO) nanostructures synthesized via the Pechini sol-gel approach. The nanostructures, which were abbreviated to EN600 and EN800, were fabricated at calcination temperatures of 600 and 800 °C, respectively.
