研究目的
Investigating the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue, malachite green, and Bismarck brown dyes in wastewater using poly(azomethine)/ZnO nanocomposites under natural sunlight.
研究成果
The PAZ/ZnO nanocomposites showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue, malachite green, and Bismarck brown dyes under natural sunlight, with maximum degradation efficiencies of 97%, 96%, and 95% respectively. This suggests that PAZ/ZnO nanocomposites are effective for the decolorization of dye-containing wastewater.
