Abstract

This study present synthesis of spinel ferrites (ZnFe2O4, Ni0.1Cu0.1Zn0.8Fe2O4, TbNi0.1Cu0.1Zn0.8Fe2O4) by co-precipitation and its composite Tb- Ni0.1Cu0.1Zn0.8Fe2O4@rGO by ultrasonication means. The bandgap was found in the range 1.67-2.05 eV. Under optimal conditions, Tb- Ni0.1Cu0.1Zn0.8Fe2O4/rGO was seen to degrade methyl orange, pendimethalin, and ofloxacin at rates of 83%, 69.50%, and 50.37%, under visible light. The mechanism was elucidated by scavenger studies, which demonstrated that the primary reactive radicals driving the degradation process were superoxide radicals (O2*- ) and hydroxyl radicals (OH*). The remarkable rate constant of MO dye degradation demonstrated by Tb-Ni0.1Cu0.1Zn0.8Fe2O4/rGO was 0.0339 min‒1 , whereas ZnFe2O4 showed 0.0088 min‒1 .
