In this work, hierarchical structure TiO₂/hemp stem biochar carbon (HSBC) and C₃N₄-TiO₂/HSBC were successfully fabricated, which were used as efficient visible-light photocatalyst degradation for ammonia nitrogen from aqueous solution. The as-prepared C₃N₄-TiO₂/HSBC hybrid catalyst showed the higher efficient photocatalytic activity for decomposition of ammonia nitrogen than those of pure TiO₂ and TiO₂/HSBC, suggesting suppressed recombination of photogenerated charges and promoted mass transfer due to synergistic effect, and thus increased photocatalytic degradation activity. The degradation of ammonia follows a pseudo-first-order kinetics. All prepared catalysts demonstrated extremely photocatalytic efficiency under visible-light and UV light illumination; the ammonia nitrogen photocatalytic degradation activity of C₃N₄-TiO₂/HSBC can reach 90.3% under UV light while the degradation activity achieved about 50.7% under visible-light irradiation. The results revealed that the h⁺ was dominantly active intermediates in the process of photocatalytic degradation. The prepared catalysts are promising for the degradation of ammonia nitrogen from water resource.
