Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants-Nile Blue, Methylene Blue, and Bentazon Herbicide-Using NiO-ZnO Nanocomposite.

Water pollution poses a significant threat to both human health and ecosystem integrity. Chemical pollutants such as dyes and pesticides affect the water quality and endanger aquatic life. Among the methods for water purification from organic pollutants, photodegradation is certainly a valid technique to decrease such contaminants.

An insight into the hepatoprotective role of Velpatasvir and Sofosbuvir per se and in combination against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats.

Hepatitis C is a global health issue. Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) induces fibrosis by redox reactions, which involve the deposition of collagen in extracellular matrix (ECM). This study aimed to examine the antifibrotic effect of direct-acting antivirals; Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir, per se and in combination against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced fibrosis in rats.

Sunlight-induced photocatalytic degradation of various dyes and bacterial inactivation using CuO-MgO-ZnO nanocomposite.

Novel tri-phase CuO-MgO-ZnO nanocomposite was prepared using the co-precipitation technique and investigated its physical properties using characterization techniques including XRD, FTIR, Raman, IV, UV-vis, PL, and SEM. The application of grown CuO-MgO-ZnO nanocomposite for the degradation of various dyes under sunlight and antibacterial activity against different bacteria were studied. The XRD confirmed the existence of diffraction peaks related to CuO (monoclinic), MgO (cubic), and ZnO (hexagonal) with CuO phase 40%, MgO 24%, and ZnO 36%.
