Abstract:

The C/Fe-Bi2WO6 photocatalyst was prepared by a two-step method, involving resin carbonization and hydrothermal reaction process. Comparative research on photoactivities of different catalysts was carried out. Influence of condition factors on photocatalytic oxidation degradation of norfloxacin(NOR) solution under simulated sunlight irradiation was investigated. The degrading reaction fits the first-order kinetics well under experimental conditions. After irradiation under a 500 W Xenon lamp for 60 min, NOR completely decomposed with the first order reaction rate constant(Kapp) of 0.0751 min-1 under the conditions that the initial concentration of NOR is 10 mg/L, the C/Fe-Bi2WO6 loading is 0.75 g/L, and the concentration of H2O2 is 200 mg/L at pH 7.0. The OH formation in C/Fe-Bi2WO6 photocatalytic oxidation was studied via molecular fluorescence spectrum, and the possible photocatalytic oxidation mechnasim and the degradation paths and intermediate products of NOR were proposed.
