This paper presents a study on preparation of sulfur doped titanium dioxide using potassium fluorotitanate and sodium sulfate as precursors. The obtained results indicated that the doped TiO2 exhibited very high photocatalytic activity for degradation of methylene blue even under visible light. The increasing in the added sulfur amounts led to significantly increase in the degradation of methylene blue. When the S/TiO2 mole ratios increased from 10 to 25%, the degradation of methylene blue under compact light increased from 30.87% to 67.06%, respectively.

In this paper graphene is used to improve absorption rate of nano-titanium dioxide under visible light, meanwhile titanium dioxide is doped with superparamagnetism nano-powder of γ-Fe2O3 to modify the recovery of the photocatalyst. Gradually the increasing content of grapheme promotes the removal efficiency and correspondingly. Excitation condition is reduced and the photocatalysis property under visible light is improved and recycle rate of the titanium dioxide is effective promoted after the dispose. The effect of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue is used to evaluate the photocatalytic activity. The methylene blue degradation rate raised from 53.4% to 85.9% with the increasing graphene load from 5% to 20% under visible light. The degradation efficiency of methylene blue decreased to 15% without the graphene load. The recovery rate of the photocatalyst can achieve 95% above. Graphene oxide works as the electron acceptor and photosensitizer to efficiently enhance the dye photodecomposition.

Bi metal deposited on Bi2MoO6 composite photocatalysts have been successfully synthesized via a simple reduction method at room temperature with using NaBH4 as the reducing agent. The photocatalytic activity of the composite was evaluated by degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and bisphenol A (BPA) solution under visible light. The rate constant of Bi/Bi2MoO6 composite to RhB is 10.8 times that of Bi2MoO6, and the degradation rate constant of BPA is 6.9 times of that of Bi2MoO6. Nitrogen absorption–desorption isotherm proved that the increase of specific surface area is one of the reasons for the improvement of photocatalytic degradation activity of Bi/Bi2MoO6 composites. The higher charge transfer efficiency of Bi/Bi2MoO6 is found through the characterization of the photocurrent and impedance, which are attributed to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect produced by the introduction of the metal Bi monomer in the composite. Free radical capture experiments proved that cavitation is the main active species. Based on the above conclusions, a possible mechanism of photocatalytic degradation is proposed.
