Intensive Aquaculture

Flumequine (FLU) is one of the most used fluoroquinolone antibiotics in intensive aquaculture, however, it has become a typical pollutant in water environment at present due to inappropriate use. Therefore, it is necessary to develop facile techniques for efficient degradation of FLU. In this work, three N-doped TiO2 photocatalysts were synthesized for degradation of FLU. The obtained photocatalysts were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectrum and UV-Vis diffuse reflection spectra (UV-Vis-DRS). The XRD and XPS results from NH4NO3-doped catalyst (TiO2/AN) confirmed that NO3- ions were successfully incorporated into the lattice of TiO2. The TiO2/AN sample exhibited higher photocatalytic performance than other N-doped catalysts under simulated sunlight irradiation, and 100% removal efficiency of FLU was achieved after 4 hours of illumination. The photogenerated holes (h+) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are main reactive species involved in the photocatalytic degradation of FLU. Eight intermediates for photocatalytic degradation of FLU were detected and their toxicities to aquatic organisms were predicted. This study might have important implications for further research on the removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in wastewater.
