In this work, the modification of Bi
2 MoO6 with critic acid (CA-BMO) to achieve enhanced adsorption of methylene blue (MB) solution in dark and desorption under visible light irradiation was reported. The as-prepared materials were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and characterized via SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS techniques. Only 16.5% of 10 mg L−1 MB was removed within 10 min by using 0.5 g L−1 Bi2 MoO6 , while 92.9% removal of MB could be achieved by using 0.5 g L−1 CA-BMO, which enhanced the adsorption removal by a factor of 4.6. The adsorption capacity for MB was 18.9 mg g−1 . Desorption efficiency of MB was only observed in CA-BMO system, and it depends on the wavelength of the light source, pH, and the presence of metal ions. Characterization results suggested that carboxyl groups, which were modified onto the surface of Bi2 MoO6 , could serve as adsorption sites for MB, and the connections were damaged under light, thus leading to the desorption of MB from the surface of the CA-BMO. This study provides a novel reagent-free desorption strategy for dye recovery without secondary pollution, which facilitates the development and application of Bi-based adsorbent for dye-containing wastewater treatment.
