(3) Since industrialization and urbanization is rising uncontrollably, the demand of water is increasing promptly. (1) Anthropogenic actions have depreciated freshwater bodies (2) and therefore the uncontrolled release of effluent and unmaintainable exploitation of water is presently the “hottest subject” for water management. Numerous domestic and industrial activities, such as cleaning, cooking, agriculture, and product development, require water. It is important for our corporeal existence and is the rudimentary necessity of life. One of the primary factors for the existence of human beings is water. This method can be adopted for the removal of multiple dyes from industrial effluent on a larger scale. The percentage degradation recorded for the nanocatalyst against MO, MB, and EY was 95.21%, 98.57%, and 96.65%, respectively. Potential catalytic activity and kinetic parameters of Ag–Cu were monitored against Methylene Blue (MB), Methyl Orange (MO), and eosin-y (EY). SEM with EDX confirmed the particle sizes of BNPs and SDS to be 17.14 and 114.56 nm, respectively. XRD studies for nanocomposite showed crystallite size of 8.96014 nm having an FCC structure. Characterization and morphological evaluation indicates two distinctive UV/vis absorption peaks for Ag and Cu. Chemical reduction synthesis of silver–copper (Ag–Cu) bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs) was achieved using NaBH 4 as a reducing agent and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a stabilizer. The current study is an effort toward this foremost issue. Therefore, humongous considerations are being enumerated for the removal and decolorization of azo (AZ) dyestuff however, for anthraquinone (AQ) dyes, these efforts are considerably minimal although the later one poses a greater threat to environmental contamination, because of their reinforced structure. Azo dyes are the largest industrial water polluters in respect of volume while anthraquinone the second largest. Remediation of industrial water pollution is a trending subject to date for the researchers around the globe, due to its detrimental effects on human life as well as aquatic life.
