A Comprehensive Review on Role of Magnesium Spinel Ferrite in Photo-catalysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
This review explores the effectiveness of magnesium ferrite-based materials as photocatalysts for breaking down organic pollutants, such as antibiotics and synthetic dyes, in wastewater. It focuses on how various synthesis approaches, doping techniques, and composite formations influence their degradation performance. Due to its narrow band gap and magnetic nature, magnesium ferrite is capable of utilizing a wider range of light while also allowing for easy recovery after treatment. The review also sheds light on the underlying photocatalytic mechanisms, presenting magnesium ferrite as a promising candidate for developing affordable and reusable catalysts. Overall, this concise summary highlights recent progress and underscores the significant potential of magnesium ferrite in addressing the environmental challenges posed by organic wastewater contaminants.
