Abstract
Augmentation of the organic pollutants in fresh water due to discharge of various industrial, domestic, and agricultural (pesticides and insecticides) waste is a global concern. Amputation of it by developing a simple and cost-effective feasible method is a great challenge. Currently the confiscation of organic pollutants by photodegradation in the presence of metal oxide photocatalyst is identified as one of the cost-effective process due to ease of synthesis and handling. Hence, it is expected that the metal oxides can play an important role for environmental remediation and water treatment. The metal oxide nanoparticles synthesized using imidazole organic precursors show better photocatalytic effect for the sequestration of organic pollutants due to the high surface area and mesoporous nature. They are used as both complementary and supplementary for the treatment of organic pollutant in water through the mineralization of hazardous chemical waste into the innocuous end products and CO2.
