| Abstract: |
Worldwide environmental issues have been escalating with the growth of the global economy and become a vital problem. To solve the problems, we require an eco-friendly and sustainable binary catalyst for the degradation of Azo dye pollutants. In this work, magnetically reusable, multifunctional novel Mn-doped CdAl 2 O 4 nanoparticles were effectively fabricated by the co-precipitation approach. It was utilized for the degradation of two Azo dyes, exhibiting 96 and 98% Mn (0.050 M)-doped CdAl 2 O 4 removal rates under visible light illumination, and presenting improved photocatalytic capability than that of pure and other dopants. More notably, the Mn (0.050 M)-doped CdAl 2 O 4 catalyst was recycled using centrifuges without major loss and displays almost similar photodegradation behaviors for six successive runs. According to the ESR measurements, outcome and quenching tests affirmed that .OH− and h+ radicals were better reactive species responsible for Azo dyes removal. A possible photodegradation reaction mechanism underlying the elimination of Azo dyes by Mn (0.050 M)-doped CdAl 2 O 4 catalyst is also proposed. Elaborated analyzes by variable reaction parameters such as the role of reactive species and catalyst dosage, pH, COD and irradiation time in the degradation route was also discussed. We assume that our outcomes will provide novel insights into using a highly effectual Mn (0.050 M)-doped CdAl 2 O 4 catalyst, with possible applications in the treatment of both industrial and domestic wastewater. [Display omitted] • Mn-doped CdAl 2 O 4 nanoparticles were fabricated for the first time by a chemical co-precipitation route. • UV-DRS, ESR and PL investigation affirm the existence of Vo or lattice defects in the present product. • The recyclable Mn-doped CdAl 2 O 4 nanoparticles exhibited an improved dye degradation properties.
