ABSTRACT
Chitosan (CS) polysaccharide is expected to exhibit greater ionic conductivity, which can be attributed to its increased amino group content when it is blended with different semiconducting materials. Herein, the work used this conducting ability of chitosan and prepared a heterogeneous MoS2-induced magnetic chitosan (MF@CS) composite via the co-precipitation method, which was used to scrutinize the catalytic performance with Methylene Blue (MB) and Malachite Green (MG) dyes by visible light irradiation. The saturation magnetization value of the MF@CS composite is found to be 7.8 emu/g, which is less when compared to that of pristine Fe3O4 (55.7 emu/g) particles. The bandgap of the MF@CS composite is â¼ 2.17eV, which exceeds the bandgap (Eg) of bare MoS2 of 1.80 eV. The maximum color removal of 96.3 % and 93.4 % for MB and MG dyestuffs is recognized in the exposure of the visible spectrum, respectively. At a starting dye dosage of 30 mg/L, 0.1 g/L of MF@CS, a pH level of 8-11, and 70 min of contact with direct light. The photocatalyst provides extremely good durability for a maximum of five phases. Hence, the MF@CS matrix is a viable and appropriate substance for the efficient treatment of effluents containing dye molecules.
