摘要
Nitrate as one of the water pollutants is one of the major environmental problems. Photocatalytic reduction of nitrate nitrogen has attracted a lot of attention because of its high efficiency and environmental friendliness. The g-C3N4/Ag/BiOBr composite photocatalyst was prepared by high temperature calcination, reaction synthesis and photoreduction. The photocatalysts were characterized by SEM, XRD, EPMA、FT-IR, XPS and UV-vis, and the reduction effect of the composite on nitrate nitrogen (50 mg/ L) under the irradiation of metal halide lamp was studied. The results showed that when 1g/L g-C3N4/Ag/ BiOBr catalyst was used, the nitrate concentration was 2.4 mg/L, and the removal rate was 95.2% after 180 min photoreaction. Compared with g-C3N4, BiOBr and g-C3N4/BiOBr photocatalysts, the removal rates increased by 38.8%, 34.6% and 13.1%, respectively. Nitrogen was the main product in the photocatalytic conversion of nitrate nitrogen. The proportion of N2 in the main products of nitrate nitrogen photocatalyzed by g-C3N4/Ag/BiOBr was the highest (88.0%), and the selectivity of nitrogen was 92.4%. Ag can be used as an electron trapping agent to effectively reduce the recombination of electron-hole pairs in photocatalytic materials. Under the action of silver, the photogenerated electrons of BiOBr are transferred to the valence band of g-C3N4 by silver elemental material, forming a Z-type composite photocatalytic structure. Nitrate nitrogen can be directly oxidized by the composite photocatalyst, and the hole scavenger formic acid can be converted into a strong oxidizing substance (COO.-) under the action of the composite hole, which can further reduce nitrate nitrogen. © 2023 Chinese Journal of Materials Research.
