Abstract

Bismuth tungstate/lotus fiber composite membrane (Bi ₂WO ₆/LF) were prepared. The composite membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic activity of Bi ₂WO ₆/LF under visible light irradiation was investigated. The result shows that photocatalytic activity of the Bi ₂WO ₆/LF increase with the rise of Bi ₂WO ₆ content in the composite membrane. Bi ₂WO ₆/LF with 1% Bi ₂WO ₆ possesses excellent photocatalytic activity for methylene blue and degradation efficiency of methylene blue reach 94% after irradiation for 270 min. Bi ₂WO ₆/LF could be potentially applied in sewage disposal and environmental remediation.
