High efficient and environment friendly one-pot in situ microwave irradiation method was implemented towards the preparation of porous reduced graphene oxide/WO (rGOW) nanocomposites for the first time. Here, 3D porous WO nanoparticles were evenly decorated on 2D rGO sheets. The crystal phase purity and the functional group characterizations of the as-synthesized nanomaterials were examined by powder XRD and Raman spectral analyses. The morphological studies from the SEM, TEM, and BET measurements clearly revealed the highly porous nature of nano-sized WO and its distribution on the surface of rigid 2D graphene sheet. The UV along with visible light-driven degradation mechanism of malachite green (MG) dye in the rGOW nanocomposites was well illustrated with the schematic diagram and discussed in detail through the kinetics of the degradation process upon calculating the rate constant and half-life time. The rGO/WO photocatalyst delivered high MG degradation efficiency of 97% under UV irradiation.

This study investigated the application of mixed biofilms formed by two Pseudomonas strains (NAA22 and NAA23) for bio-decolorization of malachite green (MG) dye. The isolated strains displayed biofilm formation and MG decolorization capabilities. Mixed biofilms exhibited significantly greater biofilm formation and MG decolorization (94.

The aquatic ecosystem is negatively impacted by organic dye contamination, which is now one of the factors leading to environmental pollution. The present investigation involved the synthesis of nanocellulose (NC) and nanocellulose modified with NiO (NC/NiO) composite using acid hydrolysis and a one-step precipitation technique for NC and NiO, respectively. Malachite green (MG) dye was catalytically removed from an aqueous solution using the two products, which were mechanically homogenized.

This work developed a novel oxidized hierarchical porous carbon (OHPC) with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls via a method of air oxidation and used as an efficient adsorbent for Congo red (CR) and Malachite green (MG) removal. Results show that the OHPC2 oxidized at 400 °C possesses three-dimensional hierarchical pores with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls. The prepared OHPC2 not only has a large specific surface area of 1020 m g with a high pore volume, but also has abundant oxygen-containing functional groups.
