研究目的
To develop a novel Co3(PO4)2/Ag3PO4 photocatalyst for enhanced degradation of ofloxacin under simulated sunlight, investigate its mechanism, identify degradation byproducts, and evaluate the reduction in antimicrobial activity.
研究成果
Co3(PO4)2/Ag3PO4 composites exhibit superior photocatalytic activity and stability for ofloxacin degradation under simulated sunlight, with h+ and ?O2- as main active species. The degradation pathway involves dealkylation, decarboxylation, and defluorination, leading to significant reduction in antimicrobial activity. This makes Co3(PO4)2/Ag3PO4 a promising photocatalyst for antibiotic removal.
研究不足
The study is limited to laboratory-scale experiments under controlled conditions; scalability to real-world wastewater treatment may face challenges. The use of simulated sunlight may not fully replicate natural conditions. The antimicrobial activity assessment is specific to E. coli and may not represent all bacteria. The stability of the catalyst over long-term use needs further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A facile hydrothermal synthesis method was used to prepare Co3(PO4)2/Ag3PO4 composites. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated under simulated sunlight irradiation (320 nm<λ<680 nm) using a 300 W Xe lamp with an IR filter.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Ofloxacin (OFX) and methyl orange (MO) were used as target pollutants. Escherichia coli (E. coli) was used to assess antimicrobial activity.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku D/max 2000), XPS instrument (VG-ADES 400), UV-vis-NIR spectrometer (Cary 500), FESEM (XL-30 ESEM FEG), HPLC (Shimadzu LC-20A), UV-vis spectrophotometer (Persee T6-1650E), microplate reader (Multiskan MS), and a self-made quartz photoreactor. Materials include AgNO3, Co(NO3)2·6H2O, Na2HPO4·12H2O, ultrapure water, and various chemicals from suppliers like Tianjin Chemical Reagent Factory.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved dissolving precursors, hydrothermal treatment at 120°C for 12 h, washing, and drying. Photocatalytic tests involved irradiating pollutant solutions with catalyst, sampling at intervals, filtering, and analyzing concentrations. Antimicrobial assays involved culturing E. coli, preparing dilutions, incubating, and measuring absorbance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Degradation efficiency calculated using η = (C0 - Ct)/C0 × 100%. Antimicrobial activity assessed using growth inhibition equations and EC50 values analyzed with Graph-Pad Prism software.
