Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) is a photocatalyst with wide application in removal of organic pollutants. In this study, we designed a porous g-C₃N₄ (p-g-C₃N₄)/8-quinolinolato iron(III) (Q₃Fe)/H₂O₂ system to enhance the organic pollutant removal efficiency by combining photocatalysis and Fenton interaction under neutral condition. The p-g-C₃N₄ was prepared through a two-step thermal oxidation reaction. Afterwards, Q₃Fe-coupled p-g-C₃N₄ was prepared by an impregnating method. The 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) photodegradation ratio and decomposition rate of the p-g-C₃N₄/Q₃Fe/H₂O₂ system are approximately 5 and 18 times as high as those of individual p-g-C₃N₄ system, respectively. Besides, its degradation rate is 4.3 times as high as that in the p-g-C₃N₄/H₂O₂ system. Meanwhile, Q₃Fe/g-C₃N₄ also exhibits higher activity than individual p-g-C₃N₄ in 2,4-DCP photo-decomposing. On the basis of the results of the radical trapping experiments and the Fe(II) concentration in different systems, the synergistic effect between photocatalysis and Fenton reaction is vital for the efficient pollutant degradation. The coupled system combining p-g-C₃N₄ with Q₃Fe and H₂O₂ shows potential for efficient treatment of recalcitrant organic pollutants. The combined system in this work indicated a new idea for the decomposition of organic pollutants.
