The magnetic recoverable ZnO/ZnFe2O4/diatomite (ZZFDT) composite was synthesized by hydrothermal-precipitation method. The ZZFDT-1 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity and magnetic properties, and can be easily separated from the solution. Additionally, ZZFDT-1 has a specific mesoporous structure and visible light response.
The magnetic recoverable ZnO/ZnFe2O4/diatomite (ZZFDT) composite was synthesized by hydrothermal-precipitation method. The structure, optical properties and magnetic properties of the composites were characterized by different analytical instruments. ZZFDT-1 is composed of cubic spinel, hexagonal wurtzite, tetrahedron structure. SEM and TEM showed that ZnO and ZnFe2O4 particles were loaded onto the surface of diatomite, and the particle size was uniform. In addition, ZZFDT-1 is a typical mesoporous material with a specific surface area of 65.3 m(2)/g and pore size of about 12 nm. The response range of ZZFDT-1 is extended to visible light, and the band gap is 1.5 eV. Moreover, the M-H hysteretic curves of ZZFDT-1 exhibited superparamagnetic properties. The photocatalytic activity of different samples was evaluated by the conversion rate of oxytetracycline (OTC) under visible light. ZZFDT-1 has the best photocatalytic activity and the conversion is up to 95%. Because of its magnetic nature, it can be easily separated from the solution. The results showed that the ZZFDT composite has good photocatalytic activity under visible light. After being reused six times, it still has good stability.
