Fabrication, Characterization and Response Surface Method (RSM) Optimization for Tetracycline Photodegration by Bi3.84W0.16O6.24- graphene oxide (BWO-GO)

Abstract

RSM is a powerful tool for optimizing photocatalytic processes. The BWO-GO photocatalysts have been successfully synthesized via inorganic-salt-assisted hydrothermal method. XRD, TEM, FESEM, HRTEM and STEM are used to characterize BWO-GO heterojunction. UV-vis, PL, ESR and radical scavenger experiments are used to explore the photocatalysis mechanism. The photocatalysts are evaluated by TC photodegradation under visible light irradiation. And the main active species in TC photodegradation is ·O2−. Response surface methodology is used to optimize three key independent operating parameters, namely photocatalyst dosage (X1), percentages of GO (X2) and reaction time (X3), for TC photodegradation. The central composite design (CCD) is used to conduct experiments. The results showed that TC removal is significantly affected by the synergistic effect of linear term of X1 and X3. However, the quadratic terms of X12 and X32 had an antagonistic effect on T removal. The obtained RSM model (R2 = 0.9206) shows a satisfactory correlation between experimental and predicted values of TC removal. The optimized conditions is of 0.3 g photocatalyst dosage, 1.49 wt% GO loaded percentage and 90 min reaction time. Under this condition, theoretical prediction removal is 80.22% and the actual removal is 78.43%.

Designed Mini Protein 20 Mimicking Uricase Encapsulated in ZIF-8 as Nanozyme Biosensor for Uric Acid Detection

“…The predicted versus actual plot displays a good correlation between both responses, which fits with the linear regression by the R 2 value of 0.9992. Moreover, the normal probability of the residual plots displayed in Figure S1B suggests that the errors are normally distributed, and were independent of homogeneous variance error, confirming the adequacy of the utilized model [30].…”

Facile fabrication of plate‐like Bi 3 O 4 Cl for visible‐light‐driven photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride

“…The peak absorbency of TC‐HCl at 357 nm was used to determine its concentration by a TU‐1810 UV–vis spectrophotometer. Then, the triethanolamine (TEOA), 1,4‐benzoquinone (BQ), and isopropanol (IPA) (1 mM) were selected as the scavengers for trapping of the superoxide radical (), hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and holes (h + ), respectively [12]. The active species experiments are similar to the photocatalytic procedure.…”
