MUMBAI, India, July 25 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411002326 A) filed by Shoolini University Of Biotechnology And Management Sciences, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, on Jan. 12, 2024, for 'multifunctional magnetic nanoparticle for removal of crystal violet in textile wastewater using dy-doped ferrites.'
Inventor(s) include Rohit Jasrotia; Sanjay Kumar; Abhishek Kandwal; 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 focuses on the development of superparamagnetic multifunctional ferrite nanoparticles, ZnDyxFe2-xO4 (x = 0.0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04), synthesized through sol-gel auto-combustion for the removal of crystal violet from textile industry wastewater. The ZnDy0.03Fe1.97O4 variant displays superior reactivity, achieving a discoloring rate of 92.30% in 120 minutes, surpassing ZnFe2O4 (83.07%). Increased Dy content amplifies adsorption/photocatalytic activities, emphasizing the crucial role of dopants. Furthermore, antibacterial analysis reveals a zone of inhibition against Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella typhi. With outstanding magnetic, adsorption, photocatalytic, and antibacterial properties, these multifunctional magnetic nanomaterials hold immense promise for environmental and biological applications."
