About project: The presence of non-bio degradable chemicals including dyes and other industrial pollutants in waste effluents from industries are adversely affecting aquatic ecosystem. Photo-degradation of organic dyes with traditional materials or doped semiconductor nanomaterials is a common and efficient process. Semiconductor nanomaterials used for photo-degradation studies are of few nm in size. The fate of such semiconductor nanomaterials after the said photo-degradation reaction remains unknown. Due to such small size, these nanomaterials possibly thwart their separation from the treated water. The remains of semiconductor nanomaterials in water are hazardous and toxic to the ecosystem. We wish to undertake the search for a system which would effectively perform a similar task albeit easily separable, and hence more eco-friendly. Synthesized composite materials should effectively degrade the coloring agents with comparable efficiency to the nanomaterials and can be easily separated by simple filtration, thus highlighting its advantageous use for contaminated water treatment in a more eco-friendly way.
