STUDY OF PHOTOCATALYTIC AND ADSORTIVE BEHAVIOUR OF PURE ZIRCONIUM OXIDE AND CARBON-SULPHUR CO-DOPED ZIRCONIUM OXIDE NANOCOMPOSITES FOR PURIFICATION OF DYE WASTEWATER
ABSTRACT In this work, ZrO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by green method using Plumeria acuminata leaf extract via the variation of pH. Subsequently, carbon and sulphur were incorporated onto the lattice layer of the prepared ZrO2 nanoparticles by wet impregnation method. The prepared undoped, doped and co-doped zirconium oxide based nanomaterials were characterized for their morphology, phase structure, surface area, microstructure, absorption band, crystallinity and elemental composition using HRSEM, XRD, BET, ...
