20 Claims

1. A method of water decontamination, comprising:

contacting a MoO₃@Al₂O₃—MgO nanocomposite material with an aqueous solution to form a reaction mixture,

wherein the aqueous solution comprises one or more contaminants,

mixing the reaction mixture; and

collecting a filtrate,

wherein the filtrate has fewer of the one or more contaminants than the aqueous solution,

wherein the MoO₃content of the MoO₃@ Al₂O₃—MgO nanocomposite material is in a range from 1 to 20 wt. % of the total weight of the MoO₃@Al₂O₃—MgO nanocomposite material, and

wherein the MoO₃@Al₂O₃—MgO nanocomposite material has a surface area of greater than or equal to 50 m²/g.
