Optimization and mechanistic evaluation of chlorpyrifos removal from aqueous solutions using Co3O4-g-C3N4 nanocomposite via response surface methodology
⁺ sites and CPF's phosphoryl groups, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions, with minimal contribution from electrostatic attraction due to the nonionic nature of CPF. Compared to other adsorbents, this nanocomposite provides high removal efficiency at an ultralow dosage and short contact time, underscoring its cost-effectiveness, stability, and sustainability for practical pesticide remediation in water treatment.
