Abstract

Nanosized MgMn₂O₄ spinel particles were synthesized by co-precipitation in an ultrasonic field. It was found that the Bragg peaks on the diffractogram of the synthesized product were in good agreement with the reference model of MgMn₂O₄ spinel with a tetragonal structure. According to the Debye–Scherrer equation, the average size of the MgMn₂O₄ crystallite was calculated, which was ~24 nm. Nanosized spinel particles were tested as sodium percarbonate activators during the oxidative degradation of the xanthene dye rhodamine B (advanced oxidation – ultrasound/MgMn₂O₄/Na₂CO₃×1.5 H₂O₂). It was estab­lished that at the sodium percarbonate concentration of 5 mM, the catalyst content in the reaction medium of 1 g/l, and the treatment time of 3600 s, the degradation degree of rhodamine B was 98%, and the rate constant was – 4.1×10^–3 s^–1.
