Effect of Ag/TiO2/g-C3N4 Composites Loading in the Removal of Methyl Orange

Abstract

The widespread industrial use of methyl orange in the textile industry leads to significant wastewater discharge during dyeing and rinsing, posing risks to the environment and human health. Photocatalysis efficiently degrades organic pollutants in wastewater. Ag/TiO₂/g-C₃N₄ composites are used as photocatalysts due to their enhanced photocatalytic activity. This study focuses on synthesizing Ag/TiO₂/g-C₃N₄ photocatalysts via a hydrothermal process followed by a photo-deposition method and evaluating the effect of different catalyst loadings on methyl orange degradation.
