Abstract:

The abuse of antibiotics and disordered discharge of production wastewater cause the pollution of antibiotics in the water.The cubic morphology α-Fe2O3 photo-Fenton catalyst was synthesized by solvothermal method,and its microstructure and physical properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The adsorption and photo-Fenton degradation of TC by the new catalysts were investigated using tetracycline hydrochloride(TC) as a model antibiotic pollutant,and the effects of various factors including catalyst concentration,H2O2 content,LED light wavelength,and pH on TC degradation removal were investigated.The results showed that the cubic α-Fe2O3 with uniform particle size distribution was successfully synthesized and its adsorption on TC could reach equilibrium within 30 min,and the adsorption capacity could reach 7.06 mg/g.When the initial mass concentration of TC was 20 mg/L and the mass concentration of α-Fe2O3 catalyst was 0.5 g/L,the removal rate of TC could reach more than 80% by using visible LED light source photo-Fenton degradation for 30 min.

Key words: cubic α-Fe2O3, photo-Fenton, degradation, tetracycline hydrochloride
