FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PAN/GO-ZnO NANOFIBERS WITH ENHANCED MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND ITS APPLICATION IN WATER TREATMENT

Abstract

Summary: Organic dyes and heavy metals are common water pollutants, which are frequently found in industrial effluents such as paper, plastic, stainless steel, cosmetic, textile and pharmaceutical industries. The widespread use of dyes in the different industrial area inevitably results in their unintended release into the environment, especially surface or groundwater, where they pose significant risks to both human and ecological systems. Not only do water bodies become colored, but also environmental damage occurs by decreasing the dissolved oxygen capacity and blocking sunlight, which results in significant environmental pollution impact on human and animal healt
