Degradation of phenol in industrial wastewater over the F-Fe/TiO2 photocatalysts under visible light illumination

doi:10.1016/j.cjche.2016.05.024

Abstract

Abstract: F-Fe/TiO₂ composite photocatalyst was synthesized by a facile one-step hydrothermal method and then characterized by XRD, XPS and UV-Vis DRS. The catalyst of F-Fe/TiO₂ exhibited the highest photodegradation rate for phenol as compared with pure TiO₂, F/TiO₂, Fe/TiO₂, F_0.38-Fe_0.13-TiO₂ and Fe(III)/F-TiO₂ under visible light irradiation. The simulated conditions of industrial phenolic wastewater including initial phenol concentration, visible light intensity, pH and different anions were investigated in the presence of F-Fe/TiO₂ photocatalyst. In addition, as expected, the F-Fe/TiO₂ photocatalyst displayed excellent stability, showing a potential industrial application for the treatment of phenolic wastewater.
