Abstract

A straightforward photodegradation procedure was developed using a new photocatalyst under visible light to degrade diazinon and fenitrothion in water samples. For this purpose, a novel photocatalyst based on MOF on MOF composite (MIL-100 (Fe)@biometalic MIL-53 (Fe, Ni)) was synthesized by a simple and efficient hydrothermal strategy in two steps. The ability of the prepared photocatalyst for the diazinon and fenitrothion photodegradation was compared with its components (MIL-100 (Fe) and biometalic MIL-53 (Fe, Ni)) under the same conditions. The photocatalyst shows the highest degradation efficiency toward diazinon and fenitrothion. The Box-Behnken design was selected as a suitable experimental design for optimizing the effective parameters on the degradation procedure. The optimum pH, diazinon and fenitrothion concentration, photocatalyst amount, and H2O2 volume for the degradation method were 3.8, 26 mg L−1, 76 mg and 0.74 mL. The kinetics of diazinon and fenitrothion photodegradation using MIL-100 (Fe)@biometalic MIL-53 (Fe, Ni) as the photocatalyst was also evaluated by a pseudo-first order model. The rate constant and half-life of the model for diazinon and fenitrothion photodegradation were 0.0311 and 0.0291 min−1, and 22.28 and 23.90 min. The investigation of the photocatalyst reusability indicated that it can apply for the diazinon and fenitrothion photodegradation for five degradation cycles without significant change in its ability.
