Enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity of Pt cluster modified carbon nitrides for U(VI) removal
Photocatalysis has been regarded as one of the effective methods of removing U(VI) from radioactive wastewater in recent years, due to the benefits of being environmentally friendly and efficient. In this work, a Pt cluster modified carbon nitride photocatalyst (Pt-CN) was synthesized in zinc chloride molten salt. The photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, IR, XPS, UV–vis, PL and EIS. The result demonstrated that the doping of Pt makes Pt-CN show higher electronic conductivity and better charge separation and migration, leading to an enhanced photocatalytic activity and faster kinetics compared with bulk graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). Moreover, for uranium contained solution photocatalytic treatment, Pt-CN reached 94.6 % removal efficiency after 300 min of illumination with Xe light, and the kinetics improved by a factor of three compared to that of g-C3N4. Furthermore, the good reusability and photostability of the Pt-CN was confirmed as the removal efficiency remained at 83.7 % even after being recycled and reused five times. The photocatalytic reaction product was characterized as (UO2)O2·2 H2O, and the mechanism was deduced as uranium species reacting with H2O2 generated by light illumination in an open system. This molten salt one-step synthesis and Pt doping method and the performance of U(VI) extraction in air showed a promising potential for the application of Pt-CN for U(VI) extraction and removal from water.
