Highly efficient photodegradation of raw landfill leachate using cost-effective and optimized g-C₃N₄/SnO₂/WO₃ quantum dots under Vis-NIR light.

ABSTRACT: In this study, photodegradation of raw landfill leachate under Vis-NIR irradiation and sunlight has been investigated using optimized g-C₃N₄/SnO₂/WO₃ quantum dots as a novel nanocomposite. g-C₃N₄/SnO₂/WO₃ QDs was successfully synthesized and characterized using various analyses. The best mixing ratios of the nanocomposite components were obtained by response surface methodology (RSM). The morphology and the surface area characteristics of the photocatalyst were investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) analysis. Results of UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum revealed that the
