In this study, Fe(3)O(4) was implanted into activated carbon using in situ synthesis method to create magnetic activated carbon (MAC), which was then used as a support for anchoring Ni-doped anatase TiO2 (NATiO(2)) to synthesize a series of Ni-TiO2/MAC photocatalysts. The results showed that these photocatalysts exhibited high removal efficiency for TPMs, good cycle stability, and ease of reusability.
In this work, we employed the in situ synthesis method to implant Fe(3)O(4)into activated carbon (AC), in which the synthesis of the magnetic AC (MAC) was realized. Thence, Ni-doped anatase TiO2(NATiO(2)) were anchored on different addition amount of MAC to synthesize the series of Ni-TiO2/MAC photocatalysts. The chemical compositions and physical properties of these nanocomposites were analyzed by various characterization technologies. The photocatalytic capabilities of as-produced materials were then investigated via adsorption and photodegradation of triphenylmethane dyes (TPMs) as crystal violet (CV), basic fuchsine (BF), and malachite green (MG) solution. The results revealed that the removal of Ni-TiO2/AC, Ni-TiO2/2MAC, Ni-TiO2/4MAC, and Ni-TiO2/8MAC on TPMs is a very fast process and the removal efficiency can almost reach to about 90% in 10 min, and the catalyst has good cycle stability and is easy to be reused. This work provides a novel, low-cost, and effective way to rationally design and synthesize TiO2-based photocatalysts for effective removal of TPMs.
