Photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride by a Fe3O4/g-C3N4/rGO magnetic nanocomposite mechanism: modeling and optimization

Facile synthesis of hyperbranched magnetic nanospheres for highly efficient removal of methyl orange

“…2(b). It can be seen that six X-ray diffraction peaks appear at the positions of 2 θ = 30.3°, 35.4°, 43.2°, 53.9°, 57.2°, and 62.8°, attributed to the crystal planes of (220), (311), (400), (422), (440), and (533) on pure Fe 3 O 4 referring to the XRD standard card (PDF#88-0315), 28–30 which were illustrated on both samples. No other type of iron oxide is detected.…”

Synthesis, Characterization, and Photocatalytic Performance of ZnFe2O4-g-C3N4 Composites for Tetracycline Removal from Contaminated Water

“…Tis antibiotic can only be partially metabolized in humans, is chemically stable in water matrices, and has antibacterial properties which hinder its elimination by biological/ chemical systems [9,10]. Furthermore, it is the second most manufactured antibiotic in the world, hence a higher likelihood of its residues accumulating in aquatic systems [11]. Tese residues may induce the proliferation of antibioticresistant bacteria and genes, which could be more harmful than antibiotics thus causing ecological problems [12,13].…”

“…However, g-C 3 N 4 sufers from a plethora of pitfalls, such as a small interstitial surface area, rapid recombination of photogenerated charges, and low quantum yields due to poor electron mobility which hinders its photocatalytic performance [16,19,20]. To improve the photocatalytic performance of g-C 3 N 4 , various techniques can be employed, such as exfoliation, construction of heterojunctions, and dye sensitization [11,21].…”
