Abstract EN

A series of advanced WO3-based photocatalysts including CuO/WO3, Pd/WO3, and Pt/WO3 were synthesized for the photocatalytic removal of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) under simulated solar light.

In the present study, Pt/WO3 exhibited the best performance for the photocatalytic degradation of MC-LR.

The MC-LR degradation can be described by pseudo-first-order kinetic model.

Chloride ion (Cl−) with proper concentration could enhance the MC-LR degradation.

The presence of metal cations (Cu2+ and Fe3+) improved the photocatalytic degradation of MC-LR.

This study suggests that Pt/WO3 photocatalytic oxidation under solar light is a promising option for the purification of water containing MC-LR.
