摘要: Waste resource recovery and water pollution control are two important issues in environmental protection. In this study, ZnFe2O4 prepared from spent alkaline Zn-Mn battery was combined with g-C3N4 (CN) to form ZnFe2O4/g-C3N4 (ZFO-CN) step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction photocatalyst to eliminate bisphenol A (BPA) in the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light (Vis, lambda >= 400 nm). Results revealed that the ZFO-CN possessed an outstanding photocatalytic performance, which was attributed to the superior visible light harvest capacity and unique S-scheme charge transfer pathway as evidenced by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical test. Reactive species including SO4 center dot-, (OH)-O-center dot, O-center dot(2)-, O-1(2) and h(+) co-existed in the system, among which the non-radicals including O-1(2) and h(+) were inferred to be the predominant oxidation species based on the result of chemical quenching experiments. The effects of catalyst dosage, PMS concentration, initial pH and inorganic ion (HCO3-, Cl-, H2PO4-, NO3- or NH4+) on BPA removal were investigated. At 0.3 g L-1 ZFO-CN-0.5, 0.5 mM PMS and 60 min reaction time, more than 97.7% BPA was decomposed under visible light irradiation over a wide pH range of 3.5-9.0. This work provides a promising approach of constructing spent battery-derived spinel oxides into a high-efficiency heterojunction photocatalyst to activate PMS for practical wastewater treatment.
