Abstract
In this work, ytterbium (Yb) doped Bi2WO66 composite (Yb/ Bi2WO6) was prepared using a one-step hydrothermal method. The investigation focused on the photocatalytic degradation effect of Yb/Bi2WO6 on ofloxacin in water, with experimental conditions carefully controlled. The results revealed that under various conditions, Yb/Bi2WO6 exhibited excellent photocatalytic degradation performance for ofloxacin, achieving a degradation rate of 98.74% within 180 min and 93.27% after 4 cycles. These findings demonstrated that Yb/Bi2WO6 possessed good photocatalytic performance and cycling stability. The characterization results highlighted that the doping of Yb altered the morphology of Bi2WO6, narrowed the band gap, reduced photogenerated electron-hole recombination, and enhanced the photocatalytic performance of Yb/Bi2WO6. The free radical quenching experiments showed that superoxide radicals (・O2-) played a crucial role in the photocatalytic degradation of ofloxacin by Yb/Bi2WO6. Overall, this work provides new insights and theoretical support for the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics using modified bismuth-based materials doped with rare earth elements.
期刊介绍:
The Environmental Engineering Research (EER) is published quarterly by the Korean Society of Environmental Engineers (KSEE). The EER covers a broad spectrum of the science and technology of air, soil, and water management while emphasizing scientific and engineering solutions to environmental issues encountered in industrialization and urbanization. Particularly, interdisciplinary topics and multi-regional/global impacts (including eco-system and human health) of environmental pollution as well as scientific and engineering aspects of novel technologies are considered favorably. The scope of the Journal includes the following areas, but is not limited to:
1. Atmospheric Environment & Climate Change: Global and local climate change, greenhouse gas control, and air quality modeling.
2. Renewable Energy & Waste Management: Energy recovery from waste, incineration, landfill, and green energy.
3. Environmental Biotechnology & Ecology: Nano-biosensor, environmental genomics, bioenergy, and environmental eco-engineering.
4. Physical & Chemical Technology: Membrane technology and advanced oxidation.
5. Environmental System Engineering: Seawater desalination, ICA (instrument, control, and automation), and water reuse.
6. Environmental Health & Toxicology: Micropollutants, hazardous materials, ecotoxicity, and environmental risk assessment.
