I am working on dye degradation and looking for dyes which are suitable for todays scenario. Could you all please enlist some of the most contaminant dyes that are suitable for present study and scenario.
The dyes used in the textile industry are some of the most important sources of water pollution. In addition, well-known and recalcitrant dyes are used as application models such as: rhodamine B, methyl orange, bromocresol blue, etc... There are countless of them. However, a major problem today is also contamination by drugs, especially antibiotics, which are highly resistant to degradation and which are increasingly being found massively in continental waters.
I am sending you the latest paper that we have just published in Catalysts on catalytic photodegradation of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. I hope you find it useful, although they are not dyes...
Some industrial dyes like methylene blue, methyl orange, rhodamine B, crystal violet, etc are extensively studied as toxic dyes. Moreover, pharmaceutical dyes or contaminants are recently emerging in this field. All the best with your research work.
