MUMBAI, India, July 25 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411002074 A) filed by Shoolini University Of Biotechnology And Management Sciences, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, on Jan. 11, 2024, for 'magnatically recoverable and multifunctional nanophotocatalysts for the wastewater remediation applications.'
Inventor(s) include Rohit Jasrotia; Sanjay Kumar; and Yash Pal Singh.
The application for the patent was published on July 25, under issue no. 30/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses the synthesis of a magnetically recoverable dysprosium-modified CoFe2O4 nanophotocatalysts designed for the efficient removal of malachite green pollutant (MGP) under natural sunlight. Through dysprosium modification, the band gap is reduced, enhancing their photocatalytic activity. Remarkably, these synthesized nanomaterials display excellent magnetic properties, with the present CoDy0.03Fe1.97O4 showing significant antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The addition of dysprosium ions substantially impacts the photocatalytic degradation of Malachite Green Dye, with the present photocatalyst achieving a remarkable degradation efficacy of 95.36% compared to CoFe2O4 (86.09%) over 150 minutes. The nanomaterials demonstrate reliable performance with minimal degradation after four reuse cycles, showcasing their durability."
