The MIL-53Fe@g-C 3 N 4 samples were prepared by solvothermal method and recorded as CM-x. The potocatalytic activity of the MIL-53Fe@g-C 3 N 4 was significantly higher than MIL-53Fe, and it might be due to the successfully constructed heterojunction promoting the migration and separation effciency of photo-generated electron and hole pairs. In order to further enhance the potocatalytic activity of the MIL-53Fe@g-C 3 N 4 , peroxymonosulfate was introduced into the MIL-53Fe@g-C 3 N 4 /Vis system, and the peroxymonosulfate could be simultaneously activated by photogenerated electron and iron to form sulfate radical under visible light irradiation. Therefore, the degradation efficiency of oxytetracycline hydrochloride was enhanced obviously. Meantime, the effects of peroxymonosulfate dosage, oxytetracycline hydrochloride concentration, temperature and pH on the degradation efficiency of oxytetracycline hydrochloride were studied systematically. Meanwhile, the free radical catching experiments and electron spin resonance analysis confirmed that the main active substances were sulfate radical and hole. Finally, the mechanism and possible degradation pathways of MIL-53Fe@g-C 3 N 4 activating peroxymonosulfate to degrade oxytetracycline hydrochloride were proposed. [Display omitted] • MIL-53Fe@g-C 3 N 4 photocatalysts was synthesized by solvothermal method. • Peroxymonosulfate was activated by photogenerated e− and Fe. • The SO 4 •− and •OH mainly contributed to oxytetracycline hydrochloride degradation.
