Abstract

AgI/Bi2O2CO3 composite photocatalyst was prepared by in situ deposition. The prepared photocatalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The fluorocarbon resin coating (PEVE) was modified with photocatalysts of different composite proportions, and its sterilization performance for ship ballast water was evaluated. The results showed that AgI/Bi2O2CO3-0.3 has the best photocatalytic sterilization performance under simulated sunlight irradiation and its sterilization rate can reach 98%. The AgI/Bi2O2CO3 heterojunction was successfully synthesized. The mechanism of photocatalytic sterilization was explored, it has been proved that holes were the main active species involved in the photocatalytic sterilization reaction. The holes oxidize the Cl− in seawater into available chlorine. This paper provides a new idea for the treatment of ship ballast water.
