Abstract
This comprehensive and quantitative research offers a thorough analysis of how metal oxides and nanocomposites are used in the photocatalytic treatment of organic dyes. It explores the challenges and opportunities of employing photocatalytic conversion technologies, discussing the optimal conditions for efficient degradation. The mechanisms of photocatalytic degradation are elucidated, highlighting the steps involved in transforming organic dyes into harmless by-products. Additionally, the article examines the factors that enhance the overall efficiency of photocatalytic conversion and compares its cost-effectiveness to other treatment methods. Various photocatalysts, with a focus on metal oxides and nanocomposites, are analyzed in terms of their advantages and limitations in degrading organic dyes. This article serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking sustainable and economical wastewater treatment solutions through efficient and eco-friendly photocatalytic approaches.
期刊介绍:
Open Chemistry is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research, reviews and short communications in the fields of chemistry in an ongoing way. The central goal is to provide a hub for researchers working across all subjects to present their discoveries, and to be a forum for the discussion of the important issues in the field. The journal is the premier source for cutting edge research in fundamental chemistry and it provides high quality peer review services for its authors across the world. Moreover, it allows for libraries everywhere to avoid subscribing to multiple local publications, and to receive instead all the necessary chemistry research from a single source available to the entire scientific community.
