Enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO/CuO nanocomposite for the degradation of textile dye on visible light illumination.

TL;DR: The photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes such as methylene blue and methyl orange in the presence of various percentages of composite catalyst under visible light irradiation was carried out by new thermal decomposition method, which is simple and cost effective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of chitosan and its derivatives as adsorbents for dye removal from water and wastewater: a review.

TL;DR: This review paper discusses major research topics related to chitosan and its derivatives for application in the removal of dyes from water and provides better opportunity for researchers to better explore the potential of chito-derived adsorbents for removal of a great variety of d dye.
