Abstract This study reports the fabrication of Fe2O3, Bi2O3, and BiFeO3, characterization and evaluation of the photocatalytic performances for methylene blue dye degradation. The materials were synthesized by precipitation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-rays analyses, and Fourier transform infrared analyses. The photocatalytic activities of Fe2O3, Bi2O3, and BiFeO3 were compared by performing degradation experiments with 50 mL of 100 mg/L methylene blue solution. The as-prepared BiFeO3 was found as 2.4 times and 1.7 times more effective than Fe2O3 and Bi2O3, with a 79, 47, and 57% catalytic activity, respectively. The degradation of methylene blue over the BiFeO3 catalyst was optimized in terms of pH, catalyst dosage, temperature, and methylene blue concentration. The Eley–Rideal mechanism was proposed to describe the reaction kinetics in terms of the first order and second order kinetics model. Activation energy E (kJ/mol), enthalpy ΔH (kJ/mol), entropy ΔS (J/mol) and free energy ΔG (kJ/mol) were calculated as 20.8, 18.2, 197.5 and −45.3 respectively. The negative value of free energy shows that photodegradation is favored in present conditions.

The influence of calcination temperatures in TiO2  impregnated Ouw’s natural clay on its degradation activity of methylene blue dye has been done. Calcination process was conducted at various temperatures of 200, 300, and 400 oC. The characterization of TiO2 impregnated clay’s structure was examined by IR analysis. The result showed that Ouw’s natural clay has characterized vibrations of montmorillonite and thermal effect didn’t affect the structure of TiO2 impregnated clay. The highest result of methylene blue’s degradation occurred in the addition of TiO2 impregnated clay calcinated at 200 oC (98.69%). This result was found that calcination temperatures of impregnation process were significantly affect the degradation activity of TiO2­ impregnated clays.
