Abstract

An effective catalyst of MIL-101(Fe)/TiO2 composite was synthesized by solvothermal method. The resultant MIL-101(Fe)/TiO2 was used for advanced oxidation degradation of tetracycline (TC) for the first time. The results indicated that the MIL-101(Fe)/TiO2 showed higher TC degradation efficiency than pure MIL-101(Fe) or TiO2 with the persulfate. Using 1 g L−1 MIL-101(Fe)/TiO2 and persulfate at pH 7, 90.15% degradation rate was achieved under xenon lamp irradiation in 5 min for 20 mg L−1 TC. TiO2 introduced in the composite played an important role in the degradation process, in which TiO2 had a synergetic effect with Fe3+ to generate Fe2+, Ti3+ and radicals. Fe2+ reacted with persulfate to produce Fe3+ and a number of ·OH to degrade TC. This reaction process was so fast that MIL-101(Fe)/TiO2 with persulfate could degrade TC fairly rapidly. A novel TiO2-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) composite was more efficient for degrading pharmaceutical wastewater.
