Novel AlCo2O4/MWCNTs Nanocomposites for Efficient Degradation of Reactive Yellow 160 Dye: Characterization, Photocatalytic Efficiency, and Reusability

Catalysts, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(2), С. 154 - 154

Опубликована: Фев. 7, 2025

The purpose of this work was to consider the decolorization efficiency reactive yellow 160 (Ry-160) dye utilizing cobalt aluminum oxide (AlCo2O4)-anchored Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (AlCo2O4/MWCNTs) nanocomposites as catalysts for first time in a photocatalytic process under natural sunlight irradiation. compositional, morphological, and functional group analyses AlCo2O4 AlCo2O4/MWCNTs were performed by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, respectively. A UV-Vis (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer used investigate degradation efficiency. results exhibited reduction optical bandgap from 1.5 1.3 eV compared with pure spinel nanocomposites. showed excellent behavior, around 96% Ry-160 observed just 20 min sunlight, showing first-order kinetics rate constant 0.151 min−1. outstanding stability reusability maintaining more than 90% even after seven successive operational cycles. betterment behavior owes first-rate storage capacity electrons MWCNTs, due which catalyst became an electron acceptor. Furthermore, permeable structure MWCNTs greater surface area leading onset active sites, and, turn, it also boosts conductivity reduces formation agglomerates on catalysts, inhibits e−/h+ pair recombination. Concisely, synthesis novel fast activity aim study.

China is actively implementing health impact assessment legislation

Frontiers in Public Health, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13

Опубликована: Апрель 10, 2025

The health impact assessment system is imperative for prioritizing prevention and establishing "people's health" as a central tenet. Implementing this contingent on the existence of "perfect legislation." Although China has already begun to implement legislation, it still in exploratory stage faces numerous internal external legislative challenges. civil criminal legal norms supporting must be established perfected within framework developing fundamental law. Supportive measures are being implemented, such training skilled professionals, underdeveloped regions, using government evaluations incentives, promote integration into Chinese legislation. These efforts directed at improving China's coordination mechanisms, with overarching objective public welfare. This trend response growing social expectations better quality life.
