Abstract
Dye degradation by photocatalysis method has been attracting much research interest because of its wide applications in renewable energy and environmental remediation. Recently, many researchers were published about the degradation of dyes using magnetic nanoparticles as photocatalysts. This chapter aims to highlight the application of magnetic nanoparticles as photocatalysts in the degradation of organic dyes. The synthetic routes for magnetic nanoparticles such as Solvothermal, Co-precipitation, Hydrothermal, Sonochemical method, and Sol-gel methods have been summarized. Degradation of several organic dyes using magnetic nanoparticles is studied. Most of the articles focus on the degradation of methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), and Rhodamine-B (RhB) dyes. There are many materials that are found to show good photocatalytic activity in the presence of ultraviolet (UV), visible light, and sunlight irradiation. Surface modifications of Iron oxide by incorporating impurity doping and composite semiconductors to improve their efficiency are reviewed. The efficiency can be controlled by optimizing various parameters such as pH, catalyst dosage, concentration of the dyes, time of irradiation, and light intensity during the reaction. The experimental conditions significantly affect the performance of photocatalyst in the photodegradation of dyes. Optimization of operating parameters and their effect on photocatalytic degradation of dyes are discussed here.
