AB  - Cd-Al/C layered double hydroxide (Cd-Al/C-LDH) and Cd-Sb/C nanocatalyst are 
      reported here for the de-coloration and mineralization of organic dyes. These 
      catalysts were largely characterized by FESEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, XPS, PL and DRS. 
      The diffuse reflectance data showed a band gap at 2.92 and 2.983 eV for 
      Cd-Al/C-LDH and Cd-Sb/C respectively. The band gap suggested that both catalysts 
      work well in visible range. The photoluminescence spectra indicated a peak at 
      623 nm for both the catalysts which further support the effectiveness of the 
      respective catalyst in visible range. Both catalysts also showed good 
      recyclability and durability till 4(th) cycle. Five dyes, acridine orange (AO), 
      malachite green (MG), crystal violet (CV), congo red (CR) and methyl orange (MO) 
      were used in this experiment. Various parameters of different light intensity 
      such as visible, ultraviolet, sunlight and dark condition are observed for the 
      de-coloration of these dyes. The de-coloration phenomenon was proceeded through 
      adsorption assisted phot-degradation. The low cost, abundant nature, good 
      recyclability and better dye removal efficiency make these catalysts suitable 
      candidates for the de-coloration and mineralization of organic dyes.
