Use of the compound Ce-doped calcium ferrite (Ce-doped CaFe2O4) in removing cationic dye (malachite green; mg)

Scientific research conducted in 2023 has been recently published by Dr. Ibrahim Ali Omar and his colleagues, who are associate professors at the Department of Chemistry at Sabha University.

The work addresses a comprehensive study on synthesis and application of a Ce-doped calcium ferrite (Ce-doped CaFe2O4) as a multifunctional material with desirable properties, i.e., biocompatibility, nontoxicity, cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. The magnetic Ce-doped calcium ferrite nanoparticles with various chemical composition CaFe2−xCexO4 (x = 0.10, 0.075, 0.050, and 0.025) were fabricated via a sol–gel procedure. After attentive characterization of the nanoparticles, they were exploited for both adsorptive removal of a model cationic dye (Malachite green; MG) and their antibacterial activity against waterborne Gram-negative pathogens.

The title of the paper:
