Abstract:In this study, Ag-AgCl/attapulgite (Ag-AgCl/ATP) composites were synthesized via a direct precipitation method using ATP nanorods as a catalyst supporter. ATP nanorods helped to increase the dispersion of Ag-AgCl particles and broaden the light absorption spectrum, which would also help to increase the active site of the catalyst to promote the degradation of tetracycline (TC). The photocatalytic activity of the Ag-AgCl/ATP composites was evaluated through the degradation of TC, identifying the loading amount … Show more
