Photodegradation of quinoline in water over magnetically separable Fe3O4/TiO2 composite photocatalysts

The washout effect during laundry on benzothiazole, benzotriazole, quinoline, and their derivatives in clothing textiles

“…Owing its water solubility and low biodegradability, quinoline is considered as a persistent pollutant in groundwater and soil. There are various methods to remove quinoline and its derivatives from water, including adsorption (Bai et al 2011), biodegradation (Lin and Jianlong 2010), photocatalytic oxidation (Jing et al 2013), and photo-and biodegradation combined . Those methods have different removal efficiency, but almost all of them give minimal removal of the ammonium-N released during their degradation, which is a key water pollutant (Paerl et al 2011).…”

Novel magnetically separable g-C3N4/AgBr/Fe3O4 nanocomposites as visible-light-driven photocatalysts with highly enhanced activities

“…These photocatalysts are composed of magnetic and photoactive materials. Thus, there are extensive attempts in searching for highly active visible-light-driven magnetic photocatalysts made from cost-effective and earth abundant elements [8][9][10][11][12].…”

A mild synthetic route to Fe3O4@TiO2-Au composites: preparation, characterization and photocatalytic activity

“…To the best our knowledge, magnetic TiO 2 photocatalysts are primarily prepared using sol-gel method by directly coating Fe 3 O 4 particles with TiO 2 [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] or indirectly coating Fe 3 O 4 with a SiO 2 interlayer between Fe 3 O 4 and TiO 2 [18][19][20][21][22]. Unfortunately, the coated TiO 2 in these studies is nearly all amorphous, and amorphous TiO 2 is inactive as a photocatalyst under UV irradiation [23][24][25].…”
