Abstract

A ternary composite photocatalyst BiVO4/NiFe2O4/ATP with visible light response was prepared by ultrasound-assisted hydrothermal method. The results of characterization and photocatalytic experiments exhibit that BiVO4/NiFe2O4/ATP has been successfully prepared and shows enhanced capability of light absorption and electron transfer. The photocatalytic evaluation experiments using malachite green (MG) as the degradation object show that the best mass ratio of BiVO4, NiFe2O4 to ATP is 1 : 7.5 : 1.5, and the catalytic efficiency reaches the highest (99.25%) when the catalyst dosage is 1.00 g/L and the initial concentration of MG is 40 mg/L after reacting for 1 h under the condition of visible light. The reaction rate constants of BiVO4/NiFe2O4/ATP for the degradation of MG is 0.03329 min–1, 5.68 and 4.67 times higher than that of BiVO4 and NiFe2O4, respectively. After 3 times of reusing experiments, the degradation efficiency of MG by the catalyst can still reach 94%, proving the photocatalyst possesses good reusability. Moreover, NiFe2O4 has boosted the magnetism of BiVO4/NiFe2O4/ATP and make it convenient to recover. In addition, holes (h+) are confirmed to be the leading active species in the photocatalytic process, and as a result, a novel ternary composite photocatalyst is proposed.
