Adsorption and Photodegradation of Solophenyl Red 3BL on Nanosized ZnFe2O4 Under Solar Light

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

It was found that the synthesized ZnFe2O4 with crystallite size of 49 ± 6 nm adsorbed Solophenyl Red 3BL (SR 3BL) dye and degraded it by photocatalysis under solar light. Analysis of the reflectance diffuse spectrum revealed that the optical gap of nanosized ZnFe2O4 was 2.04 eV. It was shown that the highest activity of the catalyst was achieved at pH 3 and a catalyst dose of 1 g/L.
