In this study, magnetic visible light driven photocatalysts (bismuth ferrite, Bi2Fe4O9, BFO and Co-doped bismuth ferrite, Co-BFO) were successfully prepared by the facile hydrothermal method. The catalyst was used in the application of heterogeneous persulfate (PS) system under visible LED light irradiation for the degradation of levofloxacin (LFX), proving to be an excellent photocatalyst when evaluated by various characterization methods. The effect of Co-doping in the BFO structure was investigated that the decrease of band gap width and the generated photoelectrons and holes would effectively reduce the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, leading to the enhancement photocatalytic activity. The results demonstrated that Co-BFO catalyst had a high photodegradation efficiency over a wide pH range of 3.0–9.0 and the Co-BFO-2 composite displayed the optimal catalytic performance. It was found that the degradation rate of LFX by Co-BFO-2 catalyst was 3.52 times higher than that of pure BFO catalyst under visible light condition. The free radical trapping experiments and EPR tests demonstrated that superoxide, photogenerated holes and sulfate radicals were the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation of LFX. And a possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of LFX was proposed in the Vis/Co-BFO/PS process. These findings provided new insight of the mechanism of heterogeneous activation of persulfate by Co-BFO under visible light irradiation.

A series of Mo-doped Ca2NiWO6 (Ca2NiW1−xMoxO6, x = 0–0.05) was synthesized by a solid-state reaction.


Different weight percentages (0.25-1.00 wt%) of Nitrogen (Non-Metal) and Manganese (Metal) co-doped nano titania were synthesized by sol-gel method and characterized by XRD, UV-vis.DRS, FT-IR, XPS, SEM and TEM. The XRD results has shown that all the prepared catalysts are in anatase phase indicating that co-doping of N and Mn did not affect the crystal structure of TiO2 . From the UV-vis.DRS spectra a significant absorption shift towards visible region was noticed in N and Mn co-doped TiO2 and their presence was confirmed by XPS and FT-IR results. SEM and TEM results showed spherical nanoparticles with average particle size of 9 nm. Photocatalytic efficiency of synthesized nano materials was tested on non-biodegradable organophosphorous pesticide, Malathion under visible light irradiation. The effect of dopant concentration, pH, catalyst dosage, and initial pesticide concentration on photocatalytic degradation of malathion was studied and optimum conditions were established. Among the synthesized samples 0.50 wt% N & 1.00 wt% Mn-TiO2 exhibited best photocatalytic performance. Photoluminiscent spectroscopy (PL) was used to examine the rate of production of oxidative species, hydroxyl radicals which play key role in photocatalytic degradation.
