New lanthanum orthoferrite (LaFeO3)/chitosan nanocomposites were synthesized with different chitosan loadings (15 and 35%). Their adsorptive photocatalytic activity in the removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) was studied by manipulating the pH of the RB5 solution (pH 3, pH 6, pH 9), the catalyst loadin...
