Unraveling the catalytic efficacy of copper(II)-anchored carboxymethyl cellulose as a magnetically recyclable nanocatalyst for effective reduction of organic pollutants

This study focuses on the development of a highly efficient and environmentally friendly nanocatalyst for the sequestration of organic pollutants. Through a combination of the hydrothermal method and in-situ deposition technique, Fe3O4@CMC-Cu nanocatalyst was successfully synthesized as confirmed by XRD, FT-IR, and XPS analysis. This synthesized nanocatalyst displayed exceptional capabilities in reducing various organic contami-nants, including p-NP, p-NA, o-NP, NB, MO, and MB. The findings illustrate that this nanocatalyst possesses immense potential for environmental remediation due to its magnetic nature, outstanding stability, eco-friendly nature, reusability, and remarkable effectiveness in catalyzing the reduction of organic contaminants.
