Degradation of Dye Wastewater by a Novel mBT-MPR Visible Light Photocatalytic System

The high efficiency and low consumption green wastewater treatment technology has important practical significance for the recycling of printing and dyeing wastewater. The efficiency of visible light catalytic degradation of organics is greatly affected by the performance of the catalyst and the photo reactor. Therefore, Bi(2)WO(6)/TiO(2)/Fe(3)O(4) (mBT) visible light photocatalyst was accurately prepared by the ammonia iron double drop method. In order to improve the photodegradation efficiency, a tubular magnetic field-controlled photocatalytic reactor (MPR) was developed. The novel mBT-MPR visible light photocatalytic system was proposed to treat RhB simulated wastewater. The experimental results showed that when the dosage of mBT catalyst was 1 g/L and visible light was irradiated for 60 min, the average removal rate of rhodamine B (RhB) with initial an concentration of 10 mg/L in the simulated wastewater for four times was 91.7%. The mBT-MPR visible light photocatalysis system is a green and efficient treatment technology for organic pollutants in water with simple operation, low energy consumption, and no need for catalyst separation.
