Abstract

MnFe₂O₄ spinel nanoparticles were synthesized by the sonochemical method (co-precipi­tation in an ultrasonic field). The Bragg diffraction peaks of the synthesized product agreed with the MnFe₂O₄ spinel reference model, and the average MnFe₂O₄ crystallite size, calculated using the Debye–Scherrer equation, and was ~7 nm. The obtained MnFe₂O₄ spinel nanoparticles were used as potassium persulfate activators during the oxidative degradation of the diazine dye safranin T. The degradation degree of safranin T for the duration of the advanced oxidation “ultrasound/MnFe₂O₄/K₂S₂O₈” of 7200 s and a catalyst loading of 0.1 g/l was equal to 98.3%, and the rate constant was 1.529×10^–3 s^–1.
