The deficiency of drinking water sources has become a serious crisis for the future of the world that the photocatalytic process is one of the most favorable methods for removal of artificial dyes and poisonous organic impurities. In the present study, rapid ultrasonic treatment was performed to obtain LaSnO/Graphitic carbon nitrides (LSO/CN) nanocomposites with advanced photo-catalytic performance. Broccoli extract was utilized as a natural surfactant with active surface groups to control nucleation and growth of formed crystals with the creation of spatial barriers around the cations, and finally prevent nano-product agglomeration. Changing experimental parameters in synthesis reaction in turn offers a virtuous control over the nano-products size and shape. The shape and size distribution of particles was considered via diverse characterization techniques of microscopic and spectroscopic. The photocatalytic behaviors along with a kinetic study of the nanoparticles were examined by elimination and degradation of different artificial dyes under the UV waves. Effect of particle size, weight ratio of LSO:CN, type of dye, scavenger kind, dye and catalyst loading was designated on altering proficiency of nano-catalyst function. Also, the probable mechanism of removal dye by photocatalytic function was studied.
