Abstract
Composite pollution such as antibiotics and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), has become a great challenge in wastewater treatment due to its severe toxicity. Herein, an advanced photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) system is constructed based on Ag/AgVO3@3D TiO2 photoelectrode to synchronously remove ofloxacin (OFL) and Cr(VI). The superior PEC performance of photoelectrode performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of heterojunction structure and the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect, characterized by COMSOL finite element simulation. Nearly 100 % removal of both OFL (k = 0.292 min−1) and Cr(VI) (k = 0.267 M−1 min−1) are achieved in 40 min. The promotion effect of anodic oxidation rate on cathodic reduction efficiency is studied by comparing the synchronous removal effect of other two co-existing pollutant systems (norfloxacin (NOR)-Cr(VI) and tetracycline (TC)-Cr(VI)). Main active species and intermediates are analyzed by EPR, Fukui index (f- and f+) and Methyl Phenyl Sulfoxide (PMSO) probing experiment. The stability and various influence factors are studied for practical application.
