Abstract

Abstract:

Semiconductor photocatalysis can be operated over a narrow pH range for wastewater treatment. In this study, a simulated solar-light-mediated bismuth tungstate (SSL/Bi₂WO₆) process is found to be effective for norfloxacin degradation over a narrow pH range. To broaden the operating pH range of the SSL/Bi₂WO₆ process, an NH₄⁺ buffer system and an Fe³⁺ salt were introduced under extremely basic and acidic pH conditions, respectively. The NH₄⁺ buffer system continuously supplied hydroxyl ions to generate·OH radicals and prevented acidification of the solution, resulting in improved norfloxacin removal and mineralization removal under alkaline conditions. In contrast, the Fe³⁺ salt offered an additional homogeneous photo-sensitization pathway. The former treatment assisted in norfloxacin decay and the latter increased the collision frequency between the photo-generated hole and hydroxyl ions. Moreover, the effect of parameters such as pH and Fe³⁺ dosage was optimized.

Key words: Bismuth tungstate, Broadened operating pH, Norfloxacin, Photocatalysis, Water
