Performance of spent iron-based catalyst in the photo assisted electrochemical system for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye / Nurul Athikah Azizan ... [et al.]
This study explores the efficacy of a spent iron-based (Fe.S) catalyst for the photo-assisted electrochemical for removal of Methylene Blue (MB) dye. The catalyst performance was assessed under various operational parameters, including catalyst loading, initial solution pH, current density, and init...

The commercial iron oxide (Fe3O4) performance was benchmarked against spent iron-based catalyst under similar operational conditions. The results revealed that the best catalyst dosage was found at 0.02 g and 0.06 g for Fe.S and Fe3O4, respectively.
