Abstract

Magnetically separable composite MFe 2O 4(M =Co, Ni)/BiOCl photocatalysts were prepared, and the adsorption as well photocatalytic degradation performance toward rhodamine B (RhB) molecules from aqueous solution was investigated in the present work. The structural and magnetic properties were confirmed by means of X-ray diffractometer and vibrating sample magnetometer. In addition to the advantage of magnetic separability from water phase, it was found as well that the combination of ferrite on the surface of BiOCl favors the adsorption of RhB molecules and no apparent decrease in photocatalytic activity was found after ferrite combination possibly due to the formation of heterojunction on the interface between ferrites and BiOCl semiconductor.
