Abstract

Objective: This study aims to decompose antibiotic of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in aqueous medium by photocatalysis under the visible light irradiation. Method: Photocatalyst e -Zn(OH)2 was synthesized by facile precipitation method from an aqueous containing zinc nitrate, using trisodium citrate dihydrate. The characterization of as-prepared material was confirmed by XRD, SEM, FI-IR, and UV-Vis-DR. The catalytic performance of catalyst was evaluated by batch reaction. Finding: e -Zn(OH)2 has an orthorhombic structure with a length prism of 5-7 mm and triangle angles of 56.92, 69.46, and 66.71o e -Zn(OH)2 has been shown to efficiently degrade tetracycline hydrochloride. The degradation efficiency (DE) and reaction rate at the TCH concentration of 5 mg/L were the highest, exhibiting 89.51% and 0.120 min-1, respectively. The alkaline medium was an appropriate condition for degradation of TCH on catalyst. Application/Improvement: e -Zn(OH)2 was synthesized by the facile precipitation method, it has relatively strong photocatalytic ability for applying in treatment of medical wastewater. Novelty: Novel triangular prism e -Zn(OH)2 was prepared for photocatalysis. The relationship between structure and catalytic efficiency was investigated in detail. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism of TCH on e -Zn(OH)2 has been proposed.
