Abstract
Firstly, B, Ni co-doped TiO2 (B–Ni–TiO2) was prepared by sol–gel method, g-C3N4 was prepared by calcination method. Secondly, B–Ni–TiO2/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts were prepared by heating reflux method. The physical and chemical properties of the composite photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, UV–Vis, FT-TR, SEM, PL and TEM, HRTEM. The effect of different photocatalysts on the degradation of chloramphenicol was investigated. After the combination of g-C3N4 and B–Ni–TiO2, the separation efficiency of photo-generated electrons and holes can be accelerated and the photocatalytic activity can be improved. When the ratio of g-C3N4 and B–Ni–TiO2 was 1:4, the degradation rate of chloramphenicol by the composite photocatalyst was up to 95%. After five photocatalytic degradation experiments, the photocatalytic activity of the composite photocatalyst was not significantly reduced, the result showed that the composite photocatalyst had better stability and regeneration performance. The ·O2− was responsible for the photodegradation activity were determined and a possible mechanism was proposed.
