Organic pollutants such as dyes and pharmaceutical drugs have become a significant environmental problem due to their unrestricted discharge, especially in water bodies. As a result, an economically viable and environmentally friendly approach to their degradation in water bodies is required and the incorporation of metal tungstate with single metal oxide has attracted attention due to its potential ability towards the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. The work demonstrates a WO/g-CN/VO nanocomposite synthesized using a facile route wet impregnation method.

The compositional behavior and electrical and optical properties of photocatalysts were investigated in detail. Photocatalytic technology has shown great promise in wastewater treatment, splitting water to hydrogen, and converting CO to fuel.

Herein, MgO/CoO/CeO was prepared for catalytic ozonation of ammonia in an aqueous solution. The influence of various reaction conditions was systematically investigated and optimized, in which the reaction kinetics was also analyzed.
