The invention discloses a
silver iodide nanoparticle-modified
bismuth tungstate heterojunction photocatalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. The photocatalyst uses three-dimensionalmicro-spherical
bismuth tungstate as a carrier; the carrier is modified with
silver iodide nanoparticles; the
mass ratio of the carrier to the
silver iodide nanoparticles is (0.05-0.4):1. The preparation method includes: preparing three-dimensional micro-spherical
bismuth tungstate mixed solution, mixing the solution with an Ag+-containing substance, allowing
dark reaction to proceed for 30-60 min, adding iodides, continuing to carry out black reaction for 1-1.5 h, centrifuging, washing, and
drying to obtain the photocatalyst. The photocatalyst has the advantages of environmental friendliness,large specific surface area, good catalytic
oxidative activity, high separation efficiency of photo-generated carrier, good
reusability and the like; the preparation method has the advantages of goodsimplicity, controllable
reaction conditions and the like. The photocatalyst is widely applicable to the degradation of organic
wastewater, can effectively degrade organic matters in the
wastewater,and has a good practical application prospect.
