Summary: In this study, NiAl2O4, NiAl1.98Bi0.02O4, and NiAl1.98Ce0.02O4 were synthesized using the sol-gel method. Doping of larger ions (Ce3+ and Bi3+) into the aluminium ion lattice resulted in an increase in lattice constant and the formation of spherical particles with visible pores. The tailored materials showed a decrease in bandgap, leading to enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. The doped nickel aluminate catalysts exhibited improved degradation efficiency against the tested dyes.

Summary: In this paper, the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) by forced solvolysis in different alcohols was reported, and the influence of alcohol type (n-butanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerin) on the size and properties of the NPs was studied. The photocatalytic activity of the NPs against a dye mixture and their antibacterial effects were also investigated. The results showed that the NPs exhibited good photocatalytic activity, with degradation efficiency reaching 99.99%, and strong inhibition of bacterial growth, indicating their potential applications in water purification.

Summary: The prevalence of dyes in wastewater and water resources is a global concern due to their persistence, toxicity, and carcinogenic potential. Semiconducting metal oxide and modified metal oxide-mediated photocatalysis has emerged as an efficient wastewater treatment process. ZnO nanomaterials, with their inexpensive nature and high efficiency under ultraviolet light, are superior semiconducting photocatalysts for the degradation of dyes and treatment of industrial effluent.

Summary: Ulexite, a natural boron mineral, was found to be an efficient adsorbent for methyl orange (MetO) removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process was exothermic, spontaneous and thermodynamically favorable, with a mechanism involving various bonding types. Reuse experiments showed a decrease in adsorbed amount of MetO per unit weight of ulexite after multiple cycles, indicating potential for high-efficiency adsorption.
