Kinetic Modeling for Photo-Assisted Penicillin G Degradation of (Mn_0.5Zn_0.5)[Cd_xFe_2-x]O₄ (x ≤ 0.05) Nanospinel Ferrites.

ABSTRACT: Penicillin G is an old and widely used antibiotic. Its persistence in the environment started to appear in many environmental samples and food chains. The removal of these emerging pollutants has been a challenging task for scientists in the last decades. The photocatalytic properties of Cd²⁺ doped Manganese- Zinc NSFs with chemical formula (Mn_0.5Zn_0.5)[Cd_xFe_2-x]O₄ (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) NSFs are herein evaluated. The Manganese- Zinc N.S.F.s nanomaterials were deeply characterized, utilizing UV-Vis (reflectance) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption isotherm measurements, and S.E.M., SEM-EDX mapping, and T.E.M. The Kinetic model for the photodegradation of penicillin G (as a model molecule) is inv
