The present study involves synthesis a composite of triazole-poly vinyl chloride (PVC) polymer with nano-crystalline zinc oxide to yield triazole-PVC/ZnO. The produced composite was characterized using fouier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Rays diffraction (XRD) and micro-elemental analysis (CHN). The activity of the produced composite with respect to neat zinc oxide was investigated by following both of adsorption and photocatalytic removal of Bismarck Brown G (BBG)dye from their aqueous solutions. The obtained results in this study showed that triazole-PVC/ZnO was more efficient than neat ZnO on dye removal for both of adsorption and photocatalytic reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
