Schematic recycle model for removal of ternary mix dyes by NaBH4 using Au-Ag nanoparticle (NP) catalysts coated beads. The initially greenish-black mix dye solution fades gradually, as a function of the degradation progression, to green, orange, yellow and finally colorless indicative of the complete (almost) removal of dyes. Colorless liquid is filtered through 0.2 μm nylon filter paper into the conical flask on applying vacuum, after that catalyst reused upto three cycles.
