Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a new biocomposite nano-photocatalyst made from nanochitosan (NCS), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and titanium dioxide (TiO) for better water treatment.
- Various characterization techniques confirmed the properties of the new photocatalyst, which was tested for its ability to degrade the crystal violet dye.
- Results showed that this novel photocatalyst achieved 95% dye degradation under visible light, significantly outperforming conventional TiO alone, thanks to improved electron transport.
Elimination of heavy metals from wastewater has been a significant process to improve the aquatic source's quality. Various materials act as very effective adsorbents to remove heavy metals, which cause toxicity to plants and all other living organisms. Thus, the present work focuses on removing heavy metals chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu) ions containing wastewater using biodegradable and cost-effective chitosan-based hydrogel composite.
