Synthesizing nanoparticles of zinc and copper ferrites and examining their potential to remove various organic dyes through comparative studies of kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics.

Nanoparticles of zinc ferrite (ZnFeO) and copper ferrite (CuFeO) were synthesized, and characterized, and these materials were applied for removal of organic dyes of alizarin yellow R (AYR), thiazole yellow G (TYG), Congo red (CR), and methyl orange (MO) from industrial wastewater through adsorption technique. Synthesis of ZnFeO and CuFeO was achieved through chemical co-precipitation method. These nanomaterials were characterized for physicochemical properties using XRD, FTIR, BET, VSM, DLS, Zeta-potential, and FESEM-EDX analytical instruments.

Synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles of cobalt and nickel ferrites for elimination of hazardous organic dyes from industrial wastewater.

This study presents the results of synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite (CoFeO) and nickel ferrite (NiFeO) using co-precipitation method followed by application for removal of hazardous organic textile dyes of thiazole yellow G (TYG) and alizarin yellow R (AYR). XRD analysis confirmed formation of cubic spinel structure with average crystallite sizes at 16.07 nm and 13.
