Table 4. The ability of RAG 3 for SMX degradation in comparison with other catalysts.

No. Catalysts Synthesized conditions of material Pollutants Removal conditions of pollutant Efficiency (%) Ref.
1 Red mud/graphene oxide (RM-GO) composite GO was synthesized by modified Hummer's method before being mixed with RM by ultrasound Tetracycline (TC) 50 mg RM-7GO, 10 mg L−1 TC, visible light (λ > 420 nm), 300 W xenon lamp, 80 min 25 °C 79.8 50
2 RM-H/rGO composite RM was treated by acid and calciunation to reduce the impurities in RM, making α-Fe2O3 active for H2O2 decomposing Rhodamine B (RhB) RM-H/rGO composite photo-Fenton catalyst, wide pH range, H2O2, 20 min 99.8 51
3 RAG 3 RAG 3 was synthesized by electrochemical method using red mud mixture as electrolyte and graphite rods as electrodes Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) 0.5 g L−1 of RAG 3 catalyst under ultrasound, pH 5, 10 mg L−1 of SMX, 180 min 91.17 This research
