To cope with this problem, it is necessary to design a semiconductor photocatalyst having excellent photocatalytic efficiency to eliminate the antibiotics. The heterojunction is a likely situate where the efficiency of relevant photocatalyst can be strengthened. In this study, the performance of MnNb2O6/g-C3N4 (MNO/g-CN) composites in the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and tetracycline-HCl (TCH) antibiotics was explored. Enhanced photocatalytic activity of MNO/g-CN was found to be owing to electron's shifting between the MNO, and g-CN sheets, which promotes the formation of photo-generated e⁻/h⁺ pairs. This shows a low-waste, high-performance material exists to eradicate CIP and TCH from wastewater. Further, the structural, photochemical and light interacted properties of the MNO/g-CN photocatalyst, prepared by solvothermal method and sonication, were described using photochemical, physiochemical and electrochemical approaches. The synthesized photocatalyst owes its particular efficiency to its methodical photo-degradation of CIP and TC using visible light. The optimum composite 15% MNO/g-CN evinced the greatest photocatalytic efficiency with CIP and TCH photo-degradation of 94.10%, and 98.50%, respectively, and degradation mechanism were investigated using LC-MS spectroscopy. The suitable photocatalytic activity is ascribed to lower the recombination's rate of e⁻/h⁺ pairs. The scavenging evaluations proved that the h+ and •O2- were two major photoactive species accomplishing the CIP and TCH photodegradation over MNO/g-CN under visible region. Our findings pave the way for the construction of efficient binary photocatalysts for antibiotic restitution. |
