Abstract:Silver phosphates with different tungsten doping ratios were successfully synthesized by a facile chemical precipitation method, and their degradation effects on levofloxacin were investigated. The morphology, structure and optical properties of the photocatalytic materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy spectroscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. W6+ enters the silver phosphate lattice, occupies the position of P5+ and enhances the crystallinity of the material. The particle size of tungsten-doped silver phosphate was reduced, the crystallinity was enhanced, and the light absorption range was increased, which further promoted the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The results of photocatalytic degradation experiments showed that W-Ag3PO4 with 0.5% tungsten content degraded levofloxacin by up to 89% after 90min of light exposure at pH 5. Further analysis of the degradation mechanism revealed that h+ was the major oxide in the photocatalytic process, while ·OH and ·O2- played only a subordinate role. Under visible light irradiation, the modified W-Ag3PO4 exhibited higher catalytic effect on levofloxacin compared with Ag3PO4 alone. The modified silver-based photocatalyst prepared in this study enhanced the photocorrosion resistance of silver phosphate and improved its stability, providing a new route for the efficient degradation of levofloxacin.
