“…XRD results show the successful synthesis of the ZnFe 2 O 4 /RGO NCs, which agrees with previous studies ( Kaur et al, 2018 , Wang and Shih, 2021 ). As shown in the SEM image, ZnFe 2 O 4 NPs displayed uniform distributions of spherical particles with agglomerations ( Sripriya et al, 2018 ) . EDX analysis confirmed that the elemental composition of both ZnFe 2 O 4 NPs and RGO were Zn, Fe, O, and C elements.…”

“…It can also be synthesized by easy and economic techniques. According to different researchers, it has been used efficiently in the photodegradation of various dyes 6,11,13‐15 and halogenated organic compounds 16‐18 . Although much research has focused on the improvement of catalytic activity by the modification of spinel properties, little has been explored about its morphology.…”

BACKGROUND 4‐chlorophenol is one of the most commonly used products in industrial processes. This compound exhibits a high chemical stability that makes its removal from wastewater difficult by conventional methods. Although diverse methods have been applied for its elimination, photocatalysis is one of the only techniques with several advantages, such as nontoxic by‐products and mild reaction conditions. One of the goals in improving this remedial technology is the development of materials with adequate physicochemical properties that enhance the catalytic activity and thus allow the complete degradation of the pollutant or its elimination in shorter periods of time. RESULTS Magnetic ZnFe2O4 catalysts were prepared by the hydrothermal method using as complexing agents oxalic, citric, and tartaric acids. The specific surface areas of the samples were between 23.938 and 48.058 m2/g and the band gap energies were in the range of 1.55–1.90 eV. These materials were evaluated under UV light irradiation (254 nm, 2 W) for the photodegradation of 4‐chlorophenol. All samples showed photodegradation efficiencies around 60% after three hours of reaction at pH 3. CONCLUSION The results confirmed that the complexing agents have an influence on the physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts. The catalyst synthesized using citric acid was the only one to exhibit a significant activity at the three pH levels (3, 5, 6). The above can be attributed to the fact that this material presents the lowest bandgap and crystallite size values along with the largest specific surface area of all the synthesized samples. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

In this study, zinc ferrite nanoparticles, which has an important place among the spinel ferrite structured nanomaterials due to its unique properties, were synthesized by microwave-assisted combustion method and later were used as photocatalysts in the removal of dyestuffs by photocatalytic degradation method from wastewaters of textile industry. In the synthesis studies, it was determined that the microwave effect alone was not sufficient to complete the transformation. Heat treatment application is envisaged to solve this problem and in order to determine the optimum heat treatment temperature, the sample produced by microwave effect were subjected to heat treatment at 300℃, 400℃, 500℃, 600℃, 700℃, 800℃ and 900℃, respectively. It has been observed that the heat treatment has a significant effect on the crystal structure of the particles and 700℃ has been determined as the optimum heat treatment temperature. The data obtained showed that, under these conditions, the zinc ferrite nanoparticles were successfully synthesized and the powder produced completely consisted of nano-sized particles. Moreover, results showed that the synthesized zinc ferrite nanoparticles has a saturation magnetization value sufficient to separate them from the aqueous medium. Finally, zinc ferrite nanoparticles produced under optimum conditions were used as photocatalysts in the removal of textile dye known as Procion Yellow HE-3G from wastewater by photocatalytic oxidation. In photocatalysis experiments, it was observed that synthesized zinc ferrite nanoparticles provided very high removal efficiencies as photocatalysts and almost all of the dye content in the solution could be removed.
