Removal of malachite green and methylene blue by Fe0.01Ni0.01Zn0.98O/polyacrylamide nanocomposite using coupled adsorption and photocatalysis

- A novel nanocomposite Fe0.01Ni0.01Zn0.98O/polyacrylamide was synthesized.
- FNZP/PAM nanocomposite shows good degradation efficiency for MB and MG.
- Rapid decolouration of dyes was observed under coupled adsorption and photocatalysis.
- Dye degradation followed the pseudo first-order kinetics.
- A higher recycle efficiency and antibacterial activity was achieved for nanocomposite.
