Abstract

The use of photocatalytic technology to degrade polyacrylamide in crude oil extraction wastewater is a promising approach, but there have been few reports so far. In this study, ZnFe2O4/Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 heterogeneous composite materials of a spinel/perovskite type with different proportions were synthesized. The composite materials with 31% ZnFe2O4 content exhibited a maximum polyacrylamide degradation efficiency of 46.54%, which demonstrated the unique role of the spinel/perovskite heterogeneous structure. When Ag nanoparticles were grown in situ on the surface of ZnFe2O4/Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency reached 81.28%. The main reason was that the introduction of Ag nanoparticles not only increased the active sites and enhanced light absorption capacity but also accelerated the separation of photo-generated charges. This work provides new ideas for the construction of spinel/perovskite heterogeneous composite materials and has reference significance for the application of photocatalytic degradation in the treatment of wastewater-containing polymers.
