MnFe2O4/NGP nanocomposites with variations of 5, 10, and 15 wt.% were used as

catalysts to degrade methylene blue in the photocatalytic and sonocatalytic

processes. MnFe2O4 and MnFe2O4/NGP 5, 10, 15 wt.% were synthesized using the

hydrothermal method. Impurities and other phases were not found in x-ray

diffraction (XRD) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements. The presence of

NGP was confirmed by XRD measurements, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA),

Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The increase in

specific sample area as NGP increases was confirmed by Brunauer-Emmet Teller

(BET) measurements. The morphology of MnFe2O4 which resembles a square and

tends to congregate was obtained from transmission electron microscopy (TEM)

measurements. The catalyst has better degradation ability in photocatalytic

processes with visible light than UV light. The best system conditions for the

catalyst to degrade methylene blue were at a catalyst dose of 0.2 g / L, 8 mL H2O2

concentration, and a pH of 13. The addition of NGP to MnFe2O4 was proven to

increase the degradation ability of methylene blue. The catalyst has also been shown

to have high stability after being used five times. The active species of catalyst in

photocatalytic and sonocatalytic processes are hydroxyl radicals
