| Abstract | The idea of biosynthesis of magnetic, recyclable spinel photocatalyst for the degradation of reactive dye mixture by sunlight is a relatively new concept, and to date, there has been limited research in this area. Research has been conducted to demonstrate the potential for the photocatalyst to degrade different types of organic pollutants, including reactive dyes, but further research is needed to further evaluate the efficiency and sustainability of the process. Additionaly research is needed to explore the potential for the production of magnetic recyclatle spinel photocatalysts in a cost-effective manner. The concept of using biosynthesis to produce magnetiC, recyclable spinel photocatalysts have been discussed in various conferences and meetings. However, the concept has not yet been widely accepted and implemented, as there are still many unanswered questions regarding the sustainabrlity and efficiency of the process. In the proposed PoC, the use of a magnetic, recyclable spinel photocatalyst for the degradation of reactive dye mixtures by sunight This is a sustainable pathway which could potentially reduce the environmental impact resulting from the use of conventional chemical methods for dye degradation. The magnetic, recyclable spinel photocatalyst could be used to attract dye molecules to its surface, making them more susceptible to degradation. Moreover, since the photocatalyst is magnetic, it can be easily separated from the reaction mixture, allowing for its reuse. This could potentially reduce the costs associated with dye degradation, while helping to reduce the environmental footprint of the process. |
