Synthesis of Mg/Ag orthophosphate and its application in photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and bisphenol A

These days one of the most important problems in cleaning waste water up is degrading carcinogen compounds like bisphenol A. However, Silver Orthophosphate (SO) is one of the best active semiconductors in photocatalytic degradation of pollutant; it s still a little use due to the high price of silver [1]. In this research ,was synthesized new composition of SO with magnesium , which has high photocatalytic activity and low cost , by co-precipitation method [2] .This composition was tested in degradation of methylene blue and bisphenol A. Methylene blue degraded above 90% in 60 minutes and bisphenol A degraded above 70% in 140 minutes.
