Abstract
The material is proven competitive for the solar treatment of wastewater from the textile industry -an essential source of water pollution worldwide. The system was prepared following a two-step hydrothermal method, showing photon absorption properties across the solar spectrum's UV and visible light regions. The main responsible species driving the photocatalytic process are proposed based on degradation experiments using appropriate scavengers. Further studies include consideration of operational parameters and cycling experiments to evaluate the stability of the catalyst. The results showed complete degradation (100%) based on dye bleaching and >90% mineralization of the dye based on total organic carbon analysis using dye concentrations of 20 ppm and catalyst loading of 1 g/l. Our findings point to sulfide-supported spinel materials as promising candidates for advanced solar oxidation technologies for wastewater treatment.
