Abstract
Highly active and visible light-driven Ag-loaded CdS photocatalysts were prepared via a hydrothermal synthesis and photodeposition method. The removal and debromination of 2,2ʹ,4,4ʹ-tetrabromodiphenyl ether was achieved efficiently using this Ag-loaded CdS under visible light, with a removal efficiency of 100% and a debromination ratio of 44.3% being achieved within 30 min. Both the reaction solvent and the water content were found to have a strong influence on the removal efficiency and the debromination ratio. In addition, the stepwise debromination preference was ortho ≫ para, thereby indicating that the main debromination pathway was electron reduction. The stability and efficiency of these Ag-loaded CdS photocatalysts for the removal of BDE47 were satisfactory, and so our results confirmed the development of a promising visible light-driven catalyst for the removal of polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
