Green-Synthesized Copper Oxide-Modified Serpentine Nanocomposite for Efficient Adsorptive Removal of Malachite Green Dye: Mechanism, Thermodynamics, and Waste-to-Energy Valorization via Urea Electro-Oxidation
Malachite green (MG), a triarylmethane dye extensively used in the textile and aquaculture industries, is a persistent aquatic contaminant with documented carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects even at trace concentrations. In the present work, a natural, low-cost Serpentine clay was surface-modified with cop...
