The environmental contamination caused by tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) has aroused widespread concern, photocatalytic degradation of TC has become an effective method. CeO₂ was prepared by coprecipitation method, and solvothermal synthesis of CeO₂@UiO-66 composite catalysts. The prepared catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM and EDS respectively, and the effects of the amount of CeO₂, catalyst mass concentration and H₂O₂ mass fraction on the photocatalytic degradation of TC were also investigated. The results showed that CeO₂@UiO?66 was successfully synthesized. When the amount of CeO₂ substance is 25 mmol, the mass concentration of TC solution is 20 mg/L, the mass concentration of catalyst is 0.2 g/L, and the mass fraction of H₂O₂ is 2%, CeO₂@UiO?66 photocatalytic effect is the best, and the TC degradation rate reaches over 98% when irradiated by UV lamp for 70 min. The free radical trapping experiments showed that holes and ·OH were the main contributors in the photocatalytic process. In addition, after six cycles, the degradation rate of TC composite photocatalyst can still maintain above 85%, which indicates its good stability.

UiO?66 has the high specific surface area and porosity, which was selected as a carrier in this study. The impregnation method by loading nano?metal Cu particles was used to prepare the composite catalyst UiO?66/Cu. X?ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and other methods were carried out to characterize the prepared catalysts. Different loads and dosages catalytic effects in catalytic reduction were investigated in this study. The concentration of p?nitrophenol was 5×10^-5 mol/L and the dosage of UiO?66/Cu?10 was 10 mg/L, which were the optimal solutions for catalytic effect. Catalytic reduction efficiency of p?nitrophenol could reach more than 97.0% in 5 minutes.
