The complete distraction of the aromatic ring was ascertained by UV spectroscopic analysis. A decrease in dye concentration and an increase in the concentration of CO2 indicate dye mineralization. The behavior of this reaction was pseudo-first-order and the maximum photodecolorization efficiency was ~85.16% for Methyl orange and ~ 95.40 for Congo red in 120-150 min. at 30oC.}, keywords = {Ferrite, X-ray Diffraction,Scanning electron microscopy,Transmission electron microscopy,Photodegradation of dye}, url = {https://www.jwent.net/article_253463.html}, eprint = {https://www.jwent.net/article_253463_e2c566318809d615f2bc0761ad16ee97.pdf} }
