Abstract

Photocatalytic treatment of water pollutants has attracted extensive attention due to its low energy consumption, low cost and the avoidance of secondary environmental pollution. However, most photocatalysts are in powder form, which makes it difficult to separate from the water system after the reaction. Especially in practical applications, the recycling of the catalyst is an important part. Based on the characteristics that sodium alginate (SA) is easy to form gels under mild conditions, GO-P25@SA gel beads were prepared. The catalyst can be separated from the water system by simple filtration, which greatly saves the recycle cost. Besides, the light response of TiO2 (P25) and excellent conductivity of graphene oxide (GO) make GO-P25@SA have excellent photocatalytic degradation and cyclic stability for rhodamine B (RhB). In this work, the unique merits of GO and sodium alginate (SA) in developing functionalized photocatalyst were demonstrated, providing a low-cost and easy recycle treatment strategy for rhodamine B degradation.
