  Karakaş, İbrahim Hakkı; Karcıoğlu Karakaş, Zeynep; Ertuğrul, Mehmet

  Cobalt aluminate is one of the most widely-used spinel aluminate types. It is known that various structural, magnetic and morphological properties of spinel ceramics can vary depending on the synthesis technique and the starting chemicals used. In this study, initially, heat treatment was applied to cobalt aluminate nanoparticles synthesized by the microwave-assisted combustion method and the effects of the applied heat treatment on the structural properties were investigated. Characterization studies showed that cobalt aluminate spinel pigments were successfully synthesized. The optimum heat treatment temperature was determined as 700 °C. Then, the synthesized cobalt aluminate nanoparticles were used as photocatalysts for dye removal by photocatalytic oxidation from a synthetic wastewater containing Astrazon red textile dye and their photocatalytic activity was investigated at different catalyst dosages. Moreover, the same particles were also produced by conventional combustion technique. Then, their photocatalytic activities were studied and the data were compared with the results obtained from the experiments made with the samples produced with microwave assisted combustion method under the same experimental conditions. The results show that cobalt aluminate nanoparticles synthesized by microwave assisted combustion exhibit a better photocatalytic activity. In experiments performed with samples produced via microwave-assisted combustion method, all dyestuff content in the solution containing 50 mg/L dye was completely removed under UV irradiation for approximately 60 min. It was determined that the catalyst dosage had an effect on the reaction rate and the reaction was found to be compatible with the pseudo first order kinetic model.
