Abstract
Describes synthesis of F–Fe/TiO2 composite photocatalyst using one-step hydrothermal method, results of which were characterized by XRD, XPS and UV–Vis DRS. The catalyst of F–Fe/TiO2 showed the highest photodegradation rate for phenol as compared with pure TiO2, F/TiO2, Fe/TiO2, F0.38–Fe0.13–TiO2 and Fe(III)/F-TiO2 under visible light irradiation.
Researchers examined the simulated conditions of industrial phenolic wastewater including initial phenol concentration, visible light intensity, pH and different anions in the presence of F–Fe/TiO2 photocatalyst. Furthermore, the F–Fe/TiO2 photocatalyst displayed excellent stability, showing a potential industrial application for the treatment of phenolic wastewater.
