Aromatic nitro compounds have been promising industrial applications including paper production, pigments, pharmaceuticals, dyes, wood, leather, petrochemical, pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, explosives, and preservatives. US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) declared that 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) has been recognized as a non-biodegradable pollutant and therefore, a very important to develop an effective method to either modify or remove 4-NP before releasing it into the environment. In that concern, we have developed an efficient, heterostructure composite of NiO-FeS2 via hydrothermal. The 4 mg catalyst dose and 10 mg/L concentration of 4-NP are the optimum conditions for complete reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP by prepared NiO-FeS2 composite.
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.
