Low-cost novel nano constructed granite composites for removal of hazardous Terasil dye from wastewater

The hazardous dyes on mixing with water resources are affecting many life forms. Granite stone is popular worldwide for decorating floors, making other forms of decorative materials and items. Granite stone powder waste can be obtained free of cost from marble factories as factories spend on the dis...
