Abstract
Background
Pirimicarb, a commercially used insecticide, contains carbamate, which affects the nervous system of insects and living organisms, thus inhibiting their growth and increasing the production of crops. However, it has an impact on the ecosystem of groundwater by permeating the soil profile.
Methods
The g-C3N4, Bi2WO6 & g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 nanocomposites were synthesized by hydrothermal method and grafted on the PVDF membranes via in-situ polymerization. The pirimicarb wastewater of different pH 5,7 & 9 was synthetically prepared, and the performance of the membrane was tested to study the reduction and photodegradation of as-prepared pirimicarb wastewater.
Significant
The surface energy had increased from 88.65 to 145.1 mJ/m2, g-C3N4/ Bi2WO6 nanocomposites on the PVDF membranes. The water contact angle of the membrane ranges from 57.9° to 37.7°, indicating that the membranes have higher hydrophilic characteristics. The water permanence is in the decreasing order of M1 (PAA/PVDF)> M6 (0.5wt% g-C3N4/Bi2WO6/PAA/PVDF)> M3 (1wt% Bi2WO6/PAA/PVDF)> M7 (1wt% g-C3N4/Bi2WO6/PAA/PVDF)> M4 (0.5wt% g-C3N4/PAA/PVDF)> M2 (0.5wt% Bi2WO6/PAA/PVDF)> M5 (1wt% g-C3N4/PAA/PVDF)> Neat (PVDF). The photodegradation studies stated that upon adding nanocomposites such as g-C3N4/Bi2WO6, the membranes undergo degradation of 80% at pH 5, which is higher than the PVDF/PAA (M1) membrane.
