Carbon nitride impregnated non-woven jute post-industrial waste in photocatalytic degradation of textile dyes
Cellulose(2024)
Abstract
Textile dye effluents and textile waste disposal represent two significant environmental challenges. Here, we present possible combined solution for both. Urea-derived graphitic carbon nitride g-C3N4 is thermally exfoliated to nano n-C3N4. Both obtained materials are characterized in detail, and their photocatalytic efficacies in photodegradation of three textile azo dyes under simulated solar light irradiation are compared. n-C3N4 exhibited superior performance over g-C3N4 under given experimental conditions. Novelty of the work is the subsequent usage of the non-woven jute post-industrial waste as a photocatalyst support. It was shown that NW jute impregnated with n-C3N4 can be successfully used in three consecutive photocatalytic cycles, keeping high photodegradation efficacy ( 90
