Abstract

The present work focused on application of ZnO-NPs@bentonite, as a catalyst, for disposal of different pollutants such as dyes, phenol compounds and Cr(VI) ions from water. The prepared ZnO–bentonite nanocomposite was characterized by using FT-IR, X-ray powder diffraction, and Scanning electron microscopy analysis. The results showed that the amount of zinc oxide influenced the catalytic performance of ZnO–bentonite nanocomposite. Small amounts of zinc oxide on bentonite have a positive effect whereas increase in weight ratios has a negative effect.
