ABSTRACT / SAŽETAK:
Due to its potential to provide sustainable solutions to pollution and contamination, photocatalysis is a promising area of research in the fields of environmental protection and water remediation. The main objective of this work was to prepare an environmentally friendly, durable, easily-separable, and reusable nanocomposite hydrogel with g-C3N4 encapsulated into a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and sodium alginate (SA) polymer matrix for wastewater remediation. The physicochemical properties of the prepared hydrogel were characterized by FE-SEM and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The g-C3N4/CMC/SA hydrogel photocatalytic efficiency was investigated using an anionic Orange G (OG) dye as a model pollutant.
