In the present study, the photocatalytic activity of Ti-SBA-15/C₃N₄ catalysts was investigated to degrade 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicides in water under visible light irradiation. The catalysts were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method and characterized by various analytical techniques, including SAXS, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, Zeta potential, PL, FT-IR, XRF, TGA, and UV-DRS. Our study indicated that the 2.5Ti-SBA-15/C₃N₄ had higher efficiency in the degradation of 2,4-D than Ti-SBA-15 and C₃N₄. The decomposition of 2,4-D reached 60% under 180 minutes of visible light irradiation at room temperature on 2.5Ti-SBA-15/C₃N₄. Moreover, the degradation of 2,4-D on Ti-SBA-15/C₃N₄ was pseudo-first-order kinetics with the highest rate constant (0.00484 min⁻¹), which was much higher than that obtained for other photocatalysts reported recently. Furthermore, the catalyst can be reused at least two times for photodegradation of 2,4-D solution under visible light irradiation within a slight decrease in catalytic activity.
