摘要：

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) stands as an inorganic compound, recognized as a non-toxic, bioactive ceramic, and its composition closely resembles that of bone material. In this study, nHAp was prepared from waste oyster shells, which are biowaste rich in calcium carbonate. nHAp with its unique catalytic property can be used as an adsorbent in various fields, including wastewater treatment. nHAp with an exceptional surface adsorbent with excellent chemical stability, enabling its catalytic function. Nano hydroxyapatite doped with Zinc oxide (ZnO) by wet chemical precipitation and made into a composite with Graphene oxide (GO) by modified hummers method followed by grinding, which was taken as 9:1 ratio (nHAp/ZnO and GO) of weight, enhances its tensile and mechanical strength. The energy band gap of nHAp photocatalyst was evaluated as 3.39 eV and that of the in nHAp/ZnO/GO photocatalyst was narrowed to 1.77 eV. The ternary nanocomposites are very efficient in generating the photogenerated electrons and holes, thereby improving the degradation potential of dye effluents to by-products such as CO2 and H2O. The nanocomposites photocatalyst were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, DRS, and BET techniques. The UV–visible study shows the complete dye degradation efficiency of the prepared nanocomposites photocatalyst. In this study, the prepared nanocomposites nHAp/ZnO/GO have studied their efficiency for the removal of MB dye in a batch process by varying the dosage from 0.1 to 0.5 g, and the effects of dosage variations, pH, kinetic, scavenger study were evaluated at a time interval of 30 min. The removal of dye was found to be 99% at 150 min of 0.3 g dosage and pH = 12 is most favorable as it reached the same percentage at 90 min. The as-prepared nanocomposite nHAp/ZnO/GO fits the kinetic rate constant equation and shows a pseudo-first-order reaction model. This study indicates the suitability for dye removal due to the synergistic effect and electrostatic interaction of the synthesized ternary nanocomposite, which shows the potential, socially active, low-cost-effective, eco-friendly, and safe for photocatalytic degradation of MB from wastewater. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
