“…The cationic dyes, i.e., RhB (∼99% in 40 min) and MB (∼99% in 35 min), degraded faster compared to the anionic dye i.e., MO (∼99% in 70 min). This is due to the presence of negatively charged oxygen groups in CFO-6, which causes anionic dyes to electrostatically repel and inhibits the molecules of organic dye from migrating to the surface of the catalyst to be destroyed . Furthermore, as shown in Figure d, the deterioration of a ternary solution of dyes takes 60 min.…”

Remediating pollutants in water sources is essential for preserving and protecting our water resources. Water pollution can have severe environmental, economic, and public health consequences. Water scarcity for domestic purposes can eventually be addressed by improving wastewater management. In the present study, highly active and magnetically separable Cr-doped copper ferrites CuFe 2−x Cr x O 4 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) were synthesized via a sol−gel technique and employed for the conversion of nitrophenols to aminophenols and photooxidative deterioration of various dyes such as methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB), and methylene blue (MB), as well as their ternary solution (RhB + MO + MB). Powder X-ray diffraction investigation indicates that the prepared phases are well indexed in the Fd3̅ m space group except for CuFe 2 O 4 , which crystallizes in the I4 1 /amd space group. The M−H hysteresis loop results support the ferromagnetic behavior of the nanophases, which makes them magnetically separable. The optical-band-gap energies of prepared nanostructures were found to be in the range of 1.70−1.39 eV, which makes them appropriate and reliable photocatalysts. CuFe 2 O 4 was found to be the most efficient nanocatalyst toward the conversion of nitrophenols to aminophenols, while CuCrFeO 4 showed a maximum degradation efficiency for the deterioration of dyes. The kinetic models correctly explain both reduction and photodegradation processes using pseudo-first-order kinetics. Further, several recyclability runs demonstrated that the nanocatalysts were extremely stable and reusable. This study reflects the possibility of employing mesoporous nanocatalysts for practical applications in the treatment of wastewater.
