- Description
- Non-availability of fresh water is the dire consequence of rapid industrialization and the unregulated discharge of industrial effluents. In an attempt to recover water from highly contaminated industrial wastewater, researchers have relied on developing various materials that can treat polluted water efficiently and sustainably. 3D printed materials have proved to be an emerging technology in water treatment. 2Dmaterials have recently enhanced filter technology due to their morphological properties. This study focuses on removing salinity and organic dyes utilizing 2DGadolinium telluride (Gd2Te3) coated 3D printed (2D@3DP) complex architecture. The 2D@3DP structure can potentially increase the contact time of adsorbed saline water due to its complex architecture and can remove ?52% salinity from brackish water. Furthermore, methylene blue (MB) and Methyl Orange (MO) removal efficiencies are ?69% and 45%, respectively. Spectroscopic and microscopic results confirm the adsorption of negatively charged chlorine ions on a positively charged 2D surface. The removal of bleaching powder is also tested for real-life applications, and ?20% of the bleaching powder is adsorbed. Moreover, the 2D@3DP device exhibits an electrical signal due to impinging sodium chloride droplets from different heights, making it a sustainable solution to address water pollution. 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
