Poster summary

A facile one-step synthesis of 1 D PPy NTs on the surface of 2 D p g C 3 N 4 providing new hybrid nanocomposites was developed Herein, the effect of 1 D and 2 D shape nanomaterials on the the efficiency of the developed PPy NTs-based nanocomposites for heavy metal removal was investigated The prepared nanocomposites were used as cost-effective adsorbents to remove Hg 2 heavy metal ions from wastewater Different factors were studied such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial the concentration of metal ions, and contact time The adsorptive the ability of the developed nanocomposite reached 1 5 ppb residual Hg 2 concentration which is below the accepted limit for mercury ( concentration in drinking water 2 ppb) according to the Environmental Protection Agency ( in addition
