Photocatalytic degradation of atrazine by boron-doped iron oxides under visible light irradiation was investigated. In this work, boron-doped goethite and hematite were successfully prepared by sol-gel method with trimethylborate as boron precursor. The powders were characterized by XRD, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and porosimetry analysis. The results showed that boron doping could influence the crystal structure, enlarge the BET surface area, improve light absorption ability, and narrow their band-gap energy. The photocatalytic activity of B-doped iron oxides was evaluated in the degradation of atrazine under the visible light irradiation, and B-doped iron oxides showed higher atrazine degradation rate than that of pristine iron oxides. Particularly, B-doped goethite exhibited better photocatalytic activity than B-doped hematite.

A series of BixY(2-x)O3photocatalysts were successfully prepared by a solid-state reaction and were subsequently characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra revealed that the BixY(2-x)O3samples absorbed light in the visible-light range (400-800 nm). The XPS results indicated that active oxygen species were generated on the Bi1.8Y0.2O3surface, which displayed a higher photocatalytic activity. When using photocatalytic degradation molasses fermentation wastewater as a model reaction, the Bi1.8Y0.2O3showed higher photocatalytic activity in comparison to Bi0.2Y1.8O3under visible-light irradiation.
