TiO2photocatalyst modified with N and Fe (Fe-TiO2-xNx) was obtained. Bimetal and nitrogen co-modified TiO2(Ag/Fe-TiO2-xNx) was prepared by photo catalytic reduction of Ag on the Fe and nitrogen co-modified TiO2. The catalytic activity of sample for photocatalytic reduction of nitrate under visible light was tested. And the bimetal and nitrogen co-modified TiO2was characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry.

The presence of bromate in water sources generates environmental concern due to its toxicity for humans. Diverse technologies, like membranes, ion exchange, chemical reduction, etc., can be employed to treat bromate-polluted water but they produce waste that must be treated. An alternative to these technologies can be the catalytic reduction of bromate to bromide using hydrogen as a reducing agent. In this review, we analyze the research published about this catalytic technology. Specifically, we summarize and discuss about the state of knowledge related to (1) the different metals used as catalysts for the reaction; (2) the influence of the support on the catalytic activity; (3) the characterization of the catalysts; (4) the reaction mechanisms; and (5) the influence of the water composition in the catalytic activity and in the catalyst stability. Based on published papers, we analyze the strength and weaknesses of this technique and the possibilities of using this reaction for the treatment of bromate-polluted water as a sustainable process.

Monoclinic crystal bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) was synthesized by the high temperature solid state reaction after ball milling the materials of Bi2O3 and V2O5. The influences of sintering times on the crystal phases and structures of BiVO4 powders were studied through the XRD、FTIR characterization. Fe-doped BiVO4 was prepared by doping ferric chloride to pure monoclinic crystal BiVO4 to improve the photo absorbance performance of BiVO4 and to promote the isolation of photo-induced carriers. Visible light activity of BiVO4 and Fe-doping BiVO4 were characterized using the UV-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The electrochemical behaviors of BiVO4 and Fe-doping BiVO4 were investigated under the condition of avoiding light or under light.
