Abstract

Aim. Study of the properties of a composite ferrite-containing material (CFM) obtained by coprecipitation by adding FeSO4·7Н2О to a sulfate copper-zinc electrolyte with heating, successive introduction of a NaOH solution to pH 10‒10.5 and an oxidizing agent К2S2O8. Methods. The mineral composition of the CFM was determined by X-ray phase analysis, and the elemental composition was determined by the method of electron probe microanalysis. IR spectra were obtained in KBr pellets on a Fourier IR spectrophotometer. The magnetization of the CFM samples was determined by the Faraday method on a ballistic magnetometer. The photocatalytic and sorption properties of CFM were studied spectrophotometrically during the purification of solutions from organic dyes methyl violet MV, methylene blue MB, and Congo red CR. Results. The main phase of the CFM is ferrite Zn1.66Cu0.448Fe3.77О4, and the additional phases are Fe2O3 and CuO. The surface functional groups Fe–O–H, Zn–O–H and O–H determine the negative charge of the surface of the ferrite phase and the choice of sorbates in the adsorption purification of waters. Ferrite nanoparticles are superparamagnetic with a specific saturation magnetization of 19.5 emu/g. CFM exhibits photocatalytic activity with respect to organic dyes, which decreases with time as a result of the adsorption of dyes. CFM acts as an adsorbent, most effectively when the ratio "ferrite: dye MB" 500 with a sorption exchange capacity of 1.9 mg/g. Conclusions. СFM exhibits the properties of a superparamagnetic, adsorbent, and photocatalyst. Water purification from organic dyes is associated with the simultaneous occurrence of processes of photocatalytic degradation of dyes and their adsorption on the ferrite surface.
