Synthesis of Fe3O4/CdS–ZnS nanostructure and its application for photocatalytic degradation of chlorpyrifos pesticide and brilliant green dye from aqueous solutions

Chlorpyrifos (CP) is an organophosphorus pesticide used to control pests in agriculture. Brilliant green (BG) is a cationic dye widely used in textile and dyeing industry. However, the presence of pollutants in the aquatic environment has harmful effects on the environment and humans. Photocatalytic degradation can be appropriate method for water purification. Therefore, the Fe3O4/CdS–ZnS magnetic nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized...
