| Summary: | In this report, Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized through coprecipitation and underwent Manganese (Mn) doping via the hydrothermal process. The
investigation aimed to assess the efficacy of these nanoparticles in the removal of Bisphenol
A (BPA), a persistent organic pollutant (POP). Characterization of the nanoparticles was
conducted using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray
Diffraction Analysis (XRD), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX).
FE-SEM facilitated the examination of nanoparticle morphology by capturing
microstructure images, while EDX was employed for elemental composition identification
within the nanoparticles. Various substrate-to-dopant (Fe:Mn) ratios were synthesized to
determine the optimal dopant quantity, serving as the basis for subsequent tests.
Analysis via FE-SEM and EDX revealed that the fabricated catalyst exhibited nanosphere
structures with satisfactory overall element distribution. XRD analysis identified the highest
peak at 2θ of 35.779°, affirming the presence of pure crystalline phases in the nanoparticles
with spinel cubic structures. |
