Abstract

Nowadays, a fast growing in population creates organic and inorganic waste in the form of extensive effluence and which causes water pollution. Industries, agriculture, domestic processes, etc instigated a huge pollution to the water atmospheres everywhere in the world via various types of chemical elements and substances known as “emerging pollutants”. Among them, an organic form is high attention as a result of their comparatively excessive intensities in water. The structural and behavioural diversity of these emerging organic pollutants creates their potential dangers to living organisms. This chapter deals about the chalcogenide-based nanocomposites are utilized like catalysts for removing environmental organic micropollutants in wastewater treatment. Owing to their low bandgaps, higher charge carrier movement with high visible-light absorbing properties, chalcogenide-based nanocomposites are broadly used as photocatalysts. High efficacy, low-cost, precluding long-lasting pollutants, as well as direct utilization of solar energy are an advantage of the photocatalytic approach.
