Green biogenic synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles from indigenous Banksia Ashbyi leaf for enhanced sonochemical dye degradation
2024
Overview
Developing alternative green and sustainable technologies to prevent, reduce, and remove toxic dyes present in effluent generated by the textile industry is of global importance. In this study, magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles (MNPs) were successfully synthesized using a co-precipitation method that used Indigenous Banksia Ashbyi (BA) leaf extract in varying amounts (BA-MNP 1 to BA-MNP 4), to modulate particle size and size distribution. The formation of the MNPs was confirmed by a range of characterization techniques that included UV–visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning (FIBSEM) and high-resolution transmission (HRTEM) electron microscopy. The presence of the Fe–O bond located at 551 cm −1 in the FTIR spectra and XRD analysis of the samples confirmed the formation of crystalline MNPs. FIBSEM and HRTEM images of the BA-MNP 4 sample confirmed the MNPs were spherical (18 ± 5 nm) and tended to agglomerate. Moreover, UV–visible spectrophotometry revealed a board absorption band and an optical band-gap energy of 2.65 eV. The catalytic activity of BA-MNP 4 samples towards the degradation of a commercially available navy-blue RIT dye (BRD) were investigated under three operational senarios: 1) ultrasonic irradiation (US) + BRD; 2) BA-MNP 4 + BRD, and 3) US + BRD + BA-MNP 4. The investigation found there was an additive effect when US (80 W) was used in conjunction with BA-MNP 4 s during the dye degradation process. With no US, the BA-MNP 4 sample only achieved a dye degradation of 52% in 25 min. However, over the same period of time with US, the BA-MNP 4 sample achieved a dye degradation of 89.92%. In addition, kinetic modelling found the combined US and BA-MNP 4 process followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model.
