摘要

Water contamination is one of the most serious health problems worldwide nowadays. Untreated discharge of synthetic organic dyes into water supplies can have detrimental effects on the environment. These dyes make up the majority of water contaminants. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use spinel ferrite, a novel and highly advanced catalytic material, to address this problem. Using the chemical coprecipitation method, a gadolinium-doped spinel ferrite complex Cu0.3Ni0.7GdXFe2-XO4 (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) has been created with this goal in mind. Phase formation of the substance was confirmed by XRD analysis. The sizes of the crystallites were found to be 24.07, 23.02, 24.03, and 22.02 nm for x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75, respectively. The surface examination was carried out by FE-SEM. The synthesized nanoparticle broke down the complex structure of ammonium purpurate dye. Approximately 92% of the dye broke down with 50 mg of the particles when exposed to tungsten light (λ ~ 700 nm) irradiation at a pH value of 5.5 and the highest amount of doping Gd (x = 0.75), with an overall reaction time of approximately 100 min. In this particular system, three isotherm models and their reaction kinetics were investigated. Additionally, the DPPH antioxidant activity investigation of the synthesized composite yielded a 52% inhibition percentage at x = 0.75. This work provides information on gadolinium-doped copper-nickel ferrite nanoparticles that were synthesized and utilized for the first time as an effective photocatalyst, leveraging the benefits of rare-earth doping and spinel ferrite structures to enhance activity in response to visible light.
