Heavy metal pollution of wastewater with coexisting organic contaminants has become a serious threat to human survival and development. In particular, hexavalent chromium, which is released into industrial wastewater, is both toxic and carcinogenic. TiO2 photocatalysts have attracted much attention due to their potential photodegradation and photoreduction abilities. Though TiO2 demonstrates high photocatalytic performance, it is a difficult material to recycle after the photocatalytic reaction. Considering the secondary pollution caused by the photocatalysts, in this study we prepared Ag/Fe3O4/TiO2 nanofibers (NFs) that could be magnetically separated using hydrothermal synthesis, which was considered a benign and effective resolution. For the photocatalytic test, the removal of Cr(VI) was carried out by Ag/Fe3O4/TiO2 nanofibers combined with ammonium oxalate (AO). AO acted as a hole scavenger to enhance the electron-hole separation ability, thereby dramatically enhancing the photoreduction efficiency of Cr(VI). The reaction rate constant for Ag/Fe3O4/TiO2 NFs in the binary system reached 0.260 min−1, 6.95 times of that of Ag/Fe3O4/TiO2 NFs in a single system (0.038 min−1). The optimized Ag/Fe3O4/TiO2 NFs exhibited high efficiency and maintained their photoreduction efficiency at 90% with a recyclability of 87% after five cycles. Hence, taking into account the high magnetic separation behavior, Ag/Fe3O4/TiO2 NFs with a high recycling capability are a potential photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.
