A novel Corchorus olitorius-derived biochar/Bi(12)O(17)Cl(2) photocatalyst for decontamination of antibiotic wastewater containing tetracycline under natural visible light.

Scientists created a composite material using Corchorus olitorius biochar and BiOCl for solar photo-oxidation of tetracycline. The composite showed improved degradation and mineralization of tetracycline, suggesting it can be a cost-effective and stable photocatalyst for large-scale systems.
