A series of floating photocatalysts containing BiFeO₃ nanoparticles on the expanding perlite (EP) support were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The as-prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and UV-Vis diffusion reflection (UV-Vis DRS). The SEM and TEM analyses indicated that BiFeO₃ was dispersed on the surface of EP. The DRS spectra revealed that the composites had improved optical adsorption in the visible light region, and exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for methylene blue (MB) degradation under visible light irradiation. It was found that the 70%BiFeO₃/EP composite showed the highest photocatalytic activity for MB dye wastewater treatment, and the first-order rate constant for 70%BiFeO₃/EP was 2.2 times higher than that for pure BiFeO₃. Owing to the low density of EP, the as-prepared BiFeO₃/EP particles floated in water to favor phase separation and the recovery of the photocatalyst after the reaction. The recovery test shows that the composite was rather stable during the MB photodegradation.
