Research Progress of Narrow Band Gap Semiconductor Photocatalysts for Tetracycline Degradation
Tetracycline antibiotics are widely used in animal husbandry and medical industry,because of their good medicinal value.A large number of tetracycline antibiotics are introduced into the ecology with the logistics,which leads to the imbalance of the ecosystem,and poses a great threat to human health.Therefore,it is of great significance to realize the effective degradation of tetracycline.Photocatalytic technology has become one of the most potential technologies for degradation of tetracycline antibiotics because of its low cost and no secondary pollution.This paper studies the basic structure and the toxicity of tetracycline antibiotics,conducts academic analysis and induction on the research and performance improvement of applying narrow band gap semiconductor photocatalyst to tetracycline pollutants,and puts forward the research prospect according to the trend of scientific research.
