Abstract
I
n thi s paper, CdS nanometer particles are successfully synthesized by hydro thermal method a nd its photo catalytic
performance was evaluated via degradation Ciprofloxacin under visible light irradiation. The morphology, size and structure
are characterized by sc anning electron microscopy, X ray diffraction spectroscopy, UV vis absorption spectrophotometer,
respectively. The results show that CdS exhibit excellent photo catalytic performance for degradation Ciprofloxacin with a
maximum removal rate of over 95% at 60 min under visible light irradiation due to its higher visible light absorption and
comparatively low electron hole pair recombination. T he possible mechanism of the photo catalytic degradation processes is proposed..
Keywords
