In this study, the synthesis of a novel ternary nanocomposite (g-C3N4/SrFe12O19/Zeolite) and its application photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B dye under sunlight. UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, SEM, and EDX were employed to characterize the ternary composite. Maximum photocatalytic degradation of 94% was achieved under optimized parameters as pH 4, catalyst dosage 50 mg, oxidant dose 15mM, dye conc. 10 ppm and 90 minutes. Kinetics, catalyst reusability and radical scavenging investigations were carried out for dye degradation. The data was statistically evaluated using Response Surface Methodology. Toxicity analysis was performed to check the toxicity of treated wastewater to assure water quality.
