Description
The disastrous result of fast industrialization and uncontrolled industrial effluent discharge is the lack of fresh water. Scholars have endeavored to extract water from heavily contaminated industrial effluent by creating several materials capable of effective and environmental friendly treating of tainted water. In the subject of water treatment, three-dimensional (3D) printed complex architecture has shown to be an emerging technique. Recently, nanomaterials have reformed filter technology because of their improved morphological characteristics. The current study explores the uses of two-dimensional (2D) Manganese Telluride (MnTe2) quantum dots (QDs) to decorate the 3D printed architecture for wastewater treatment. The photocatalytic performance of the QDs decorated 3D printed structures was demonstrated through the degradation of organic dyes (methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) dye) in both dark and light exposure conditions. The coated structures exhibited the ability to adsorb the organic pollutant and clean the contaminated water. We observe ?78 % degradation efficiency for MB and ?48 % for MO in dye concentrations of 10 mg/100 ml. A colorimetric detection method was used for real-time detection of degradation efficacy. The obtained results indicated that QDs decorated 3D printed system can be a significant system for wastewater treatment. 2025
