Background:

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a promising material for environmental applications.
Bauxite is an abundant mineral resource.
Developing efficient synthesis methods for composite materials is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize graphitic carbon nitride/bauxite (g-C3N4/bauxite) composites.
To investigate the effect of microwave irradiation on composite properties.
To evaluate the potential of the composite for environmental remediation.

Main Methods:

Microwave irradiation synthesis.
Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) for morphology and elemental analysis.
X-ray Diffraction (XRD) for crystalline phase identification.
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for structural verification.

Main Results:

A highly porous and uniformly dispersed g-C3N4/bauxite composite was successfully synthesized.
SEM-EDS confirmed homogeneous distribution of C, N, Al, Si, and O.
XRD and FTIR confirmed the presence of both g-C3N4 and bauxite phases and the integrity of the g-C3N4 structure.
The composite exhibited a high surface area and well-developed porosity.

Conclusions:

Microwave irradiation is an efficient method for synthesizing g-C3N4/bauxite composites.
The composite possesses favorable structural and textural properties for environmental applications.
The g-C3N4/bauxite composite shows significant potential for heavy metal removal and environmental remediation.
