The invention relates to a method for carrying out
photocatalytic degradation on
sulfamethoxazole. The problem of waste
water treatment of the
sulfamethoxazole hard to biodegraded can be effectively solved. The method comprises the steps that elements of iron,
molybdenum and
bismuth are adopted to be doped with expanded
graphite to prepare a Fe / Bi / Mo-expanded
graphite composite nano material, the Fe / Bi / Mo-expanded
graphite composite nano material is added to waste water with the
sulfamethoxazole, the pH value is adjusted to be 5.5-8.5 through alkaline matter,
irradiation is carried out under visible light for 170 minutes to 190 minutes, the Fe / Bi / Mo-expanded
graphite composite nano material is utilized, the waste water with the sulfamethoxazole with the concentration of 5 mg / L to 10 mg / L is directly oxidized through the single Fe / Bi / Mo-expanded
graphite composite nano material without adding other promoters, and the adding amount of the Fe / Bi / Mo-expanded
graphite composite nano material is 1 g / L to 2 g / L; finally, the degradation rate of the sulfamethoxazole is measured. Acidic materials do not need to be added manually, the solution of the sulfamethoxazole is acidic, a
photocatalytic reaction can be carried out conveniently, after the
photocatalytic reaction, the sulfamethoxazole is degraded, even part of the sulfamethoxazole is mineralized, the removal rate of the sulfamethoxazole is more than 90 percent,
energy conservation and
environmental protection are achieved, and great economic and
social benefits are achieved.
