SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL-MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF CdS/ZnS/CuS COMPOSITE BASED ON LOCAL INDUSTRIAL WASTE
A CdS/ZnS/CuS composite was synthesized from AMMC waste using a hydrometallurgical method. The formation of a multiphase nanostructure with particle sizes of 50–120 nm and a uniform elemental distribution was confirmed by XRF, Raman, XRD, SEM and EDS analyses. Photocatalytic tests demonstrated 92% degradation of methylene blue (10 mg/L) within 60 minutes under solar irradiation.
