Optimum Conditions of Ag/BiVO4 Photocatalytic Performance on Degradation of Paracetamol by Response Surface Methodology

Article Preview

Abstract:

Response surface methodology was applied to investigate the optimum degradation conditions of paracetamol using Ag/BiVO4 photocatalysts under the visible light irradiation. Experimental results show that the optimum degradation conditions were: catalyst dosage quantity was 80 mg, Ag-catalyst loading was 5%, and the initial pH value of the solution was 6, respectively. Under this condition, the degradation efficiency of paracetamol was 77.9% within 5 h under the visible light irradiation.
