Abstract

Carbofuran insecticide is one of the most widely used low-cost carbamate pesticides because it effectively controls pests in agriculture fields and gardens. This study provides experimental results of the photocatalytic detoxification of Carbamate in wastewater using graphitic carbon nitride/GO/La2O3 nanocomposite nanoparticles. Calcination and hydrothermal technique were used to produce g-C3N4/GO/La2O3 nanocomposite. Furthermore, the photocatalytic detoxification of Carbofuran was investigated by numerous factors such as catalyst concentrations, irradiation period, and pH. According to the observation, the photo detoxification efficiency of Carbofuran pesticides rises as time increases. According to this study, g-C3N4/GO/La2O3 nanocomposite outperformed pure forms of g-C3N4, g-C3N4/GO, g-C3N4/La2O3 in degrading Carbofuran up to 80% and photo catalytically making it a potential alternative for wastewater treatment.
