SPION/β-cyclodextrin core–shell nanostructures for oil spill remediation and organic pollutant removal from waste water

A multifunctional nanocomposite pectin thorium(IV) tungstomolybdate for heavy metal separation and photoremediation of malachite green

“…The researchers are exploring a number of remediation materials which includes agricultural waste, biopolymers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal oxides, biochar, etc. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The advanced nanocomposites play a vital role in the environmental protection due to their specificity, selectivity, and a wide range of usability [15][16][17].…”

Introduction

“…In addition, 94.22% degradation of malachite green dye was achieved in a 2 h sunlight-driven photocatalysis process. The high removal efficiency and reusability confirms the suitability of such materials for oil spill remediation [14].…”

Photocatalytic degradation of highly toxic dyes using chitosan-g-poly(acrylamide)/ZnS in presence of solar irradiation

“…Chitosan exhibit unique chelating and adsorption properties for heavy metal ions [27,28]. For the synthesis of quantum dots or nanosized particles of different inorganic photocatalysts such as cuprous oxide, zinc sulfide, cadmium sulfide and zinc oxide; chitosan was found to be an excellent biomatrix [29][30][31]. The semiconductor assisted photocatalytic degradation of dye is an important destructive technology [32][33].…”
