Remediation of persistent organic pollutants such as pesticides and personal care products in water has attained immense research interest due to the commercialization feasibility of Advanced Oxidation Processes. Thus, the present study focuses on the solar-light assisted photocatalytic degradation of commonly used pesticide, i.e., 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The chitosan-modified g-C3N4 beads (CS/g-C3N4) were synthesized using the phase inversion method. Synergistic activity of chitosan with g-C3N4 in the form of recoverable beads with solar light-based photocatalytic activity has been brought as the novelty of this work. The chitosan-modified g-C3N4 beads have been studied for their morphological and structural characterization. The diffuse reflectance spectroscopy shows the variation in the bandgap from 2.79 (g-C3N4) to 2.6 eV (CS/g-C3N4 beads) due to the incorporation of chitosan. The photocatalytic removal of 2,4-D under solar light using CS/g-C3N4 is found to be 83 %. The prepared beads showed no significant loss in catalytic activity even after four cycles. Therefore, CS/g-C3N4 is a low-cost, affordable, and environmentally friendly material for the redemption of pesticides like 2,4-D.
