摘要

Antibiotic contaminants such as tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) in landscape water of elderly communities threaten health. Antibiotics degradation in water purification leads to better environment. TC degradation by heterojunction nanocomposite for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is significant. Here, MnO2/BiVO4 nanocomposite catalysts were prepared by sonication and heat treatment. MnO2 particles with 6–8 nm of size were uniformly distributed on BiVO4 to favor rapid recombination of electron/hole pairs to improve the efficiency of PMS activation. Photocatalytic system with MnO2/BiVO4 nanocomposite catalyst achieved efficient TC degradation. Optimal TC degradation conditions were [catalyst] = 0.2 g, [PMS] = 0.15 g and pH = 7. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and scavenger studies verified the occurrence of ·OH, SO4·−, 1O2, h+, ·O2 and e species and positive contribution of MnO2/BiVO4 nanocomposite to PMS activation. MnO2/BiVO4 nanocomposite exhibits good reusability in catalytic reactions. This work provides suitable photocatalytic materials for TC treatment in senior community landscape water.
