“…Moreover, the electronic structure of GA could be easily adjusted by the covalent modification of some other non-metal elements, and a synergistic effect between the doped GA and the semiconducting photocatalyst often appears in the process of photocatalysis. For example, Chanez et al [28] reported the enhancement of visible-light photocatalytic pollutant degradation and hydrogen evolution with a 3D nitrogen-doped GA (N-GA), and Ren et al [29] evidenced the rapid degradation of tetracycline on the spinel CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles anchored on N-GA. On the other hand, the BGA displayed a superior efficiency to GA towards the degradation of acridine orange under visible light irradiation [30], and we reported previously that a strong synergetic effect established between MnFe 2 O 4 and BGA during the degradation of rhodamine B on the MnFe 2 O 4 /BGA [31].…”

In this work, the MnFe2O4/BGA (boron-doped graphene aerogel) composite prepared via the solvothermal method is applied as a photocatalyst to the degradation of tetracycline in the presence of peroxymonosulfate. The composite's phase composition, morphology, valence state of elements, defect and pore structure were analyzed by XRD, SEM/TEM, XPS, Raman scattering and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, respectively. Under the radiation of visible light, the experimental parameters, including the ratio of BGA to MnFe2O4, the dosages of MnFe2O4/BGA and PMS, and the initial pH and tetracycline concentration were optimized in line with the degradation of tetracycline. Under the optimized conditions, the degradation rate of tetracycline reached 92.15% within 60 min, whereas the degradation rate constant on MnFe2O4/BGA remained 4.1 × 10−2 min−1, which was 1.93 and 1.56 times of those on BGA and MnFe2O4, respectively. The largely enhanced photocatalytic activity of the MnFe2O4/BGA composite over MnFe2O4 and BGA could be ascribed to the formation of type I heterojunction on the interfaces of BGA and MnFe2O4, which leads to the efficient transfer and separation of photogenerated charge carriers. Transient photocurrent response and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests offered solid support to this assumption. In line with the active species trapping experiments, SO4•− and O2•− radicals are confirmed to play crucial roles in the rapid and efficient degradation of tetracycline, and accordingly, a photodegradation mechanism for the degradation of tetracycline on MnFe2O4/BGA is proposed.

“…Nevertheless, bulk MnFe 2 O 4 could not efficiently eradicate heavy metal ions and dyes. In this regard, nano-sized magnetic particles overcome these glitches and can yield bigger specific surface areas, which produce superior adsorption or photocatalytic capacities for the elimination of contamination [ 19 , 20 ]. Nanotextured ferrite is a type of composite oxide with the key constituents of trivalent iron oxides [ 21 ].…”

Environmental pollution, especially water pollution caused by dyes, heavy metal ions and biological pathogens, is a root cause of various lethal diseases in human-beings and animals. Water purification materials and treatment methods are overpriced. Consequently, there is an imperative outlook observance for cheap materials for the purification of wastewaters. In order to fill up the projected demand for clean water, the present study aimed to make use of cost-effective and environmentally friendly methods to convert bone-waste from animals such as cows into novel composites for the decontamination of water. The bone-waste of slaughtered cows from the Najran region of Saudi Arabia was collected and used for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite based on the thermal method. The synthesized hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) was utilized to prepare a manganese ferrite/hydroxyapatite composite. The nanocomposite was categorized by diverse sophisticated procedures, for instance XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, TEM, UV, PL and FT-IR. This composite possesses outstanding photocatalytic activity against methylene blue dye, which is a common pollutant from industrial wastes. Moreover, the synthesised composite revealed exceptional bacteriostatic commotion towards E. coli and S. aureus bacteria, which are accountable for acute waterborne infections. The outcome of this study demonstrated that the integration of manganese ferrite into hydroxyapatite significantly intensified both antimicrobial and photocatalytic actions when compared to the virgin hydroxyapatite.

“…0.4NiO-CeO 2 displayed a type-II isotherm and an H2-type hysteresis loop in the high P/P 0 range of 0.7-1.0. This suggests that it was composed of fractured pore materials with crack-or wedge-shaped porous structures [35]. For FS and 0.4(0.4NiO-CeO 2 )-FS, two similar isotherms in the P/P 0 range of 0-1.0 exhibit a type-II isotherm and inconspicuous H4-type hysteresis loops, evidencing the coexistence of micropores and wedge-shaped meso-/micropores [21].…”

The degradation of a high concentration of organic pollutants has long been a challenge to water restoration, and the development of electro−Fenton catalysis offers a practical approach to solving this problem. In this study, a novel electro−Fenton catalyst, activated fullerene soot−loaded NiO−doped CeO2 (0.4(0.4NiO−CeO2)−AFS) nanoparticles, was prepared through the impregnation of 0.4NiO−CeO2 particles and activated fullerene soot (AFS). When applied for the degradation of 200 mg/L of tetracycline, this catalyst demonstrated a degradation rate as high as 99%. Even after 20 cycles, the degradation rate was more than 80%. Moreover, it was concluded that AFS could initiate the synergistic effect between Ni and Ce dual active centers in the degradation of tetracycline; this can be ascribed to the extremely large specific surface area of AFS.
