The document discusses dye degradation using spinel photocatalysts synthesized via microwave-assisted solution combustion synthesis. Dye wastewater from textile industries poses various health and environmental hazards. Advanced oxidation processes that utilize photocatalysts have gained attention for dye degradation as they can completely degrade dyes into non-toxic products using solar energy. Spinel ferrites are promising photocatalysts due to their magnetic and electrical properties. The microwave solution combustion method allows for fast, energy-efficient synthesis of spinel ferrites without the need for additional calcination. This method involves mixing metal nitrate oxidizers with fuel and igniting the mixture using microwave irradiation to yield spinel ferrite photocatalysts for dye degradation applications.
