high coercivity, and moderate saturation magnetization, a wide range of exchange

interactions and super-paramagnetism, etc. (Velhal et al., 2015).

X-Ray Diffraction is one of the characterization methods used to determine the main
characteristics of crystals, such as lattice parameters and structure type. In addition, XRD is also
used to find out other details such as the arrangement of various types of atoms in the crystal, the
presence of defects, orientation, and crystal defects (Kumar et al., 2015). Fourier Transform
InfraRed (FTIR) is useful for inferring molecular dynamics (Kumar et al., 2013). FTIR data can
be used to confirm the phase and functional groups formed in the material, as well as confirm the
crystal structure of the material (Revathi et al., 2020). SEM is one of the effective methods used
to analyze materials at the micrometer to nanometer scale (Mohammed, 2018). The working
principle of SEM is to describe the surface of an object or material with a reflected electron
beam with high energy. UV-Vis is a spectroscopic analysis technique that uses ultraviolet and
visible electromagnetic radiation sources using a spectrophotometer instrument. The principle of
the UV-Vis spectrophotometer is the absorption of visible light with a molecule that can cause
molecular excitation from the basic energy level (ground state) to a higher energy level (excited
stated) (Hendayana, 1994).

Pesatnya perkembangan industri berdampak pada kualitas air yang menurun karena
pembuangan limbahnya yang tidak diolah dengan baik (Mehta et al., 2015: 245). Terdapat
beberapa usaha yang dapat dilakukan untuk menjaga mutu air, salah satunya adalah
menggunakan teknologi fotokatalis (Singh et al., 2019: 2). Pembuangan limbah industri yang
tidak diolah dengan baik mempengaruhi status mutu air di kawasan sekitar industri tersebut.
Status mutu air merupakan tingkat kondisi mutu air yang menunjukkan kondisi cemar atau
kondisi baik dari suatu sumber air dalam rentang waktu tertentu (Arnop et al., 2019: 16).
Fotokatalis memanfaatkan sifat bahan-bahan semikonduktor yang memiliki sifat di antara
isolator dan konduktor. Terdapat beberapa bahan yang pernah dibuat sebagai fotokatalis, seperti
zeolite, nanopartikel tanah jarang, material komposit, oksida logam, dan lain-lain (Revathi et al.,
2020).
