Abstract

AbstractDeveloping a novel and highly efficient catalytic oxidation system for environmental protection was an important task. In this work, inspired by the photocatalytic system and peroxydisulfate (PDS) system, the magnetic γ‐Fe2O3/h‐BN composite was designed for synergetic catalytic. The tetracycline was selected to study the degradation activity of all‐obtained samples. Among, the sample with a weight ratio of 7 % has the optimum catalytic performance. The enhanced catalytic performance was attributed to the separation of electron‐hole pairs and contact with pollutant of γ‐Fe2O3/h‐BN composite. Under visible‐light illumination, the γ‐Fe2O3/h‐BN composite could generate superoxide free radicals (O2.−)) and holes (h+) to decompose pollutant, while the addition of PDS, the PDS would excite to generate hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) and sulfate radicals (SO4.−) for further degrading pollutant. Under optimal condition, the degradation rate reached 90 % within 90 min. In addition, the investigation of tetracycline (TC) degradation under different experimental conditions (pH, catalyst dosage, PDS concentration, various salt) was conducted. This study provided a novel synergetic catalytic system for wastewater treatment.
