MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541134180 A) filed by Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 31, 2025, for 'a pilot scale process for manufacturing flower-like neodymium-doped bifeo3 photocatalyst for effluent degradation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. N. T. Mary Rosana; and Dr. K. L. Vincent Joseph.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This pilot-scale process describes the synthesis of flower-like neodymium-doped bismuth ferrite (Nd-doped BiFeOJ) nanostructures and their application as photocatalysts for the degradation of effluent pollutants. The approach incorporates controlled chemical synthesis followed by systematic evaluation of photocatalytic performance using Rhodamine B dye as a model contaminant under UV-visible light irradiation. The process demonstrates 10 exceptional efficiency, achieving a dye degradation rate of 99.6% within a short irradiation period. The primary objectives of this study are to develop an effective and scalable method for nanostructure synthesis and to evaluate its practical applicability in real-world wastewater treatment scenarios."
