These dyes are highly toxic and can have carcinogenic effects on humans. Photocatalytic degradation of these contaminants has become a method of choice as it is able to degrade these harmful pollutants into environmentally safe materials. Metal ferrites with the formula (MFe 2 O 4 ) have been widely used in photocatalysis. One of their limitations has been their synthesis approach, which uses harsh solvents as they are not environmentally safe. Green chemistry through the use of plant extracts, yeast, fungus, and bacteria has recently assisted in overcoming these shortcomings. This chapter will highlight the synthesis of green derived metal ferrite nanoparticles and their use as photocatalysts in the degradation of organic dye pollutants. The effect of low bandgap semiconductor metal oxide materials and carbon nanomaterials on the photodegradation efficiency of metal ferrites is also explored.
