Abstract
F–Fe/TiO2composite 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/TiO2exhibited the highest photodegradation rate for phenol as compared with pure TiO2, F/TiO2, Fe/TiO2, F0.38–Fe0.13–TiO2and Fe(III)/F-TiO2under 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/TiO2photocatalyst. In addition, as expected, the F–Fe/TiO2photocatalyst displayed excellent stability, showing a potential industrial application for the treatment of phenolic wastewater.
