More Details:	The MMT/CuFe2O4 nanocomposite, prepared based on loading spinel ferrite copper (CuFe2O4) nanoparticles onto montmorillonite (MMT), was selected as a catalyst for removing acid blue 113 dye (AB113) in the system operated in the presence of UV and visible light. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) served as the tool for optimizing the considered parameters, and maximum efficiency of 99.2 % was obtained. Generating superoxide (•O2-) radical, hydroxyls (•OH), holes (h+), and electrons (e-) during the studied process was confirmed based on trapping experiments. The dye degradation efficiency, after the five consecutive reaction cycles, had only a low decrease (
