The removal of synthetic dyes from industrial wastewater is crucial for environmental sustainability this study investigate the photocatlytic degradation of Auramine-O(AO) and metanil yellow (MY) using NiFeO₄ nanocatalyst under sunlight and UV irradiation NiFeO₄ was synthesized via sol-gel method and characterized using SEM and EDX confirming nanoscale morphology and elemental composition . operational parameters including PH,catalyst dose, irradiation time and initial dye concentration were optimized. The catalyst achived 95% degradation for AO and 93% for MY under UV light at pH 4 and pH 6. Reusability test confirmed catalyst stability over three cycles. These result demonstrate the potentials of NiFeO₄ for practical wastewater treatment applications.
