Abstract A novel n-MgFe2O4–n-ZnS heterojunction catalyst was employed via two step approach for photodegradation of organic dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) dyes under visible light irradiation. The synthesized MgFe2O4/ZnS NCs were characterized using PXRD, FTIR, UV-visible spectroscopy, PL and FESEM analysis which reveals the formation of flake like structure with size as to be ~50 nm. The photocatalytic experimental result demonstrates that the MgFe2O4/ZnS nanocomposites (NCs) improve photodegradation performance with 98.0% and 91% decomposition of MB and CV dyes within 120 min illumination during simulated visible light irradiation. From the result, MgFe2O4/ZnS NCs has higher photocatalytic performance than that of MgFe2O4, and ZnS due to efficient separation of the photo-induced electron-hole pairs and effective electron–hole generation transfer by the formation of n-MgFe2O4–n-ZnS heterojunction. Hence, photodegradation performance implies that the synthesized MgFe2O4/ZnS NCs can be effectively utilized in waste water purification systems.

Synthesis of magnetic photocatalyst, Fe3O4/TiO2-Co, with characterization and photoactivity examination have been conducted. The synthesis was initiated by preparation of Fe3O4 particles using coprecipitation method. The Fe3O4 particles were then coated with TiO2-Co at a various ratio of Fe3O4:TiO2 and concentration of Co(II) dopant. The Fe3O4/TiO2-Co was characterized by FTIR, XRD, TEM, SEM-EDX, VSM, and SR UV-visible methods. Photoactivity of the Fe3O4/TiO2-Co was carried out using methylene blue as a target molecule in degradation reaction within a batch system. By using optimum conditions, the degradation of methylene blue solution was performed under exposure to UV, visible light and dark condition. Results showed that the Fe3O4/TiO2-Co formation was confirmed by the presence of Fe3O4 and anatase diffraction peaks in the X-ray diffractogram. SR UV-Vis spectra indicated that the Fe3O4/TiO2-Co was responsive to visible light. Band gap energy of the Fe3O4/TiO2-Co with dopant concentration of 1; 5; 10 and 15% were 3.22; 3.12; 3.09 and 2.81 eV, respectively. The methylene blue solution can be well photodegraded at a pH of 10 for 210 min. The Fe3O4/TiO2-Co has the highest ability to methylene blue photodegradation with dopant concentration of 10% gave degradation yield of 80.51 and 95.38% under UV and visible irradiation, respectively.
