Abstract
ABSTRACTIn the present study, Al3+‐doped Mg0.5Mn0.5AlxFe2−xO4 (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75) spinel ferrite system is synthesized by the modified auto combustion technique. These nano ferrites are studied by various means, that is, EDAX, SEM, XRD, FTIR, DLS, M‐H loop, and UV‐DRS for their structural, magnetic, and optical properties. The dye degradation experiments for the methylene blue using nano ferrites are conducted under solar radiation in the presence of H2O2 to measure the absorbance in a UV–visible spectrophotometer for the various specimens/concentrations. Among all the specimens, 0.25 Al3+‐doped magnesium–manganese nano ferrite degrades the highest methylene blue dye in 75 min with the lowest concentration of H2O2.
