In an attempt to synthesize efficient photocatalyst we had prepared CuFe۲O۴-CuO nanoparticles bya facile microwave-assisted combustion reaction to degrade tetracycline-HCl (TCH) and ciprofloxacin-HCl (CIP) antibiotic pollutants in the solar spectrum range. The nanocomposite was characterizedusing X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM)). Themagnetic CuFe۲O۴-CuO has shown the macropores structure. Besides, this exhibited ferromagneticbehavior at room temperature. As a result, CuFe۲O۴-CuO could approximately eliminated ۵۰ mg/L TCHand ۲۰ mg/L CIP at about ۷۰.۸% and ۴۲.۷%, respectively after ۱۵۰ min irradiation.
