Abstract
In the current era, environmental pollution, particularly in water bodies, amid the backdrop of dwindling freshwater resources, stands as a pressing concern necessitating attention from both authorities and scientists. To address the issue of pollutant removal from water sources, various methodologies have been proposed, among which advanced oxidation techniques utilizing photocatalysts have garnered widespread interest due to their promising potential. CoMoO4/g-C3N4 photocatalysts can be readily synthesized via the hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination of urea under carefully controlled hydrothermal conditions, ensuring optimal synthesis outcomes. Characterization analyses employing XRD, SEM, EDX, and FT-IR techniques confirm the successful synthesis of CoMoO4/g-C3N4, featuring bandgap energies conducive to photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation (2.45 – 2.56 eV). In this research, CoMoO4/g-C3N4 catalysts were deployed for Levofloxacin photodegradation under visible light. Thus, the findings highlight the high efficiency of 7% CoMoO4/g-C3N4 photocatalysts in degrading Levofloxacin under optimal conditions, offering a promising approach for the remediation of pharmaceutical pollutants in water.
