Ammonia-nitrogen removal from water with gC3N4-rGO-TiO2 Z-scheme system via photocatalytic nitrification-denitrification process

Houfen Li et al.

Summary: In this study, a g-C3N4/rGO/TiO2 Z-scheme photocatalytic system was prepared and successfully used for the removal of NH3-N pollutants. The results showed that the rate constant of NH3-N conversion on this system was 1.7 times higher than that on g-C3N4/TiO2, and most of the NH3-N was converted into gaseous products. The experiment also indicated that NH3-N and NO3- in water could enhance the removal of each other. This research provides a theoretical basis for the two-step degradation of pollutants by Z-scheme photocatalytic systems.
