摘要：This study successfully synthesized a core-shell-shell in the form of CoFe2O4-SiO2-TiO2 catalyst magnetic and recyclable. The catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye. Subsequently, the catalyst was subjected to XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS, VSM, as well as UV-DRS characterizations. The photocatalytic degradation was studied as a function of the solution pH, MO concentration, and irradiation time, while the kinetics of photocatalytic degradation and the catalyst’s reusability were also evaluated. Based on the XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDS characterizations, CoFe2O4 coating was successfully carried out using SiO2 and TiO2. CoFe2O4-SiO2-TiO2 was discovered to possess magnetic properties with a saturation magnetization of 17.59 emu/g and a bandgap value of 2.4 eV. The photocatalytic degradation of MO followed the Langmuir-Hishelwood model. The optimum degradation was obtained at MO concentration of 25 mg/L, solution pH of 4, catalyst dose of 0.05 g/L, irradiation time of 160 minutes, MO removal efficiency achieved 93.46 %. The regeneration study showed CoFe2O4-SiO2-TiO2 after 5 cycles were able to catalyze the photocatalytic degradation with an MO removal efficiency of 89.96%.
