This review paper explores the efficacy of magnesium ferrite-based
catalysts in photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminates
(antibiotic and dyes). We report the influence of different doping
strategies, synthesis methods, and composite materials on the
degradation efficiency of these pollutants. Our analysis reveals the
versatile and promising nature of magnesium ferrite-based catalysts,
offering the valuable insights into their practical application for
restoring the environment. Due to the smaller band gap and magnetic
nature of magnesium ferrite, it holds the benefit of utilising the
broader spectrum of light while also being recoverable. The in-depth
analysis of magnesium ferrites’ photocatalytic mechanism could lead to
the development of cheap and reliable photocatalyst for the wastewater
treatment. This concise review offers a thorough summary of the key
advancements in this field, highlighting the pivotal role of the
magnesium ferrite based photocatalysts in addressing the pressing global
issue of organic pollutants in wastewater.
