Sunlight And UV-Assisted Photocatalytic Degradation of Auramine-O and Metanil Yellow Using NiFe2O4 Nanocatalyst
Summary
Researchers synthesized a NiFe2O4 nanocatalyst via the sol-gel method and investigated its photocatalytic activity for degrading Auramine-O and Metanil Yellow synthetic dyes in industrial wastewater under both sunlight and UV irradiation. The study optimized operational parameters including pH, catalyst dose, irradiation time, and initial dye concentration, confirming nanoscale morphology and elemental composition via SEM and EDX.
The removal of synthetic dyes from industrial wastewater is crucial for environmental sustainability this study investigate the photocatlytic degradation of Auramine-O(AO) and metanil yellow (MY) using NiFeO₄ nanocatalyst under sunlight and UV irradiation NiFeO₄ was synthesized via sol-gel method and characterized using SEM and EDX confirming nanoscale morphology and elemental composition . operational parameters including PH,catalyst dose, irradiation time and initial dye concentration were optimized. The catalyst achived 95% degradation for AO and 93% for MY under UV light at pH 4 and pH 6. Reusability test confirmed catalyst stability over three cycles. These result demonstrate the potentials of NiFeO₄ for practical wastewater treatment applications. Keywords: Degradation, Auramine, Metanil, UV-Photocatalyst
