 INTRODUCTION
• Environmental and water pollution has become a great matter of concern
with rapid industrialization, as pollutants are disposed into water bodies,
having harmful effects on the environment.
• Dyes with complex structure, persistence, and high toxicity are released into
the environment, causing adverse effects on humans and livestock.
• Much research has been done to find ways to treat residual dyes in water
environments, such as AOP method, adsorption, and filtration. However,
these methods require advanced technology and resources.

We have developed a new environmentally friendly treatment

process for residual dyes that does not require cheap, high-
quality labor.

 CONCLUSIONS
Successful synthesis of nanoscale g-C4N3/ZnO materials.
The synthesized composite exhibited enhanced efficiency for photo
degradation towards MB and RB dyes suggesting that the material can be a
very promising multifunctional catalyst.
These results provide a clear insight which can be used in the future for other
metals that can act as adaptable catalysts in the field of clean energy and
environment.
