Abstract
° < 0). High removal efficiency was recorded after five successive reuse cycles, indicating remarkable stability and reusability of the nanocomposites. Therefore, NiONPs-BP and CuONPs-BP composites were suggested to be efficient adsorbing materials for remediating wastewater polluted with MG dye.
