Properties of structural, optical and morphological study of Fe3O4 nanoparticles through organic pollutant

Abstract

In present study, the synthesis of illustrated that wet chemical reduction method is an applicable way for synthesis of Magnetite Iron nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction patterns of the Iron nanoparticles prepared with confirm that the peaks are well defined and agree well with the JCPDS data of cubic structure. SEM images of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles micrograph of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles at room temperature indicates the particles are non-uniform in size and shape. No characteristic morphology is observed. This might be due to agglomeration of nanostructures. The FT-IR spectra indicated the formation of magnetite Iron nanoparticles. The chemical structure information of the products is studied by FTIR spectra. Absorption spectra of both the dyes reveal that Fe3O4 nanoparticles has undergone significant photocatalytic degradation however, MG dye (82 %) attained more degradation percentage than the MB dye (78 %).
