? 2022 Elsevier B.V.In this study, reduced graphene oxide-based graphitic carbon nitride (rGO/g-C3N4) composite was fabricated via thermal polymerization-hydrothermal method and were utilized to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) under simulated solar light irradiation. The as-synthesized rGO/g-C3N4 was demonstrated to effectively remove methyl orange (MO) in wastewater. Notably, 92.3% of MO (15 mg/L) was removed within 120 min in the presence of 0.2 g/L rGO/g-C3N4 and 0.225 g/L PDS. The influence of activator dosage, PDS concentration and co-existing solution matrix on the removal efficiency was investigated. Free radical capture experiments confirmed that SO4ˉ·, photogenerated holes (h+), O2ˉ· and non-radical reaction initiated by rGO played a major role in MO removal. Furthermore, PDS and rGO acted as the electron acceptor and transfer carrier of the photogenerated charges, respectively, resulting in the efficient activation of PDS. The promoting visible light absorption might be ascribed to the defect sites on the surface of rGO/g-C3N4, which generated from the rGO loading. This study revealed that the as-synthesized rGO/g-C3N4 composite exhibits wide promising application prospects as a photocatalytic activator of PDS for the degradation of azo dyes in textile wastewater.
