ZnCaFe₂O₄/Ag/TiO₂ composites were prepared with silver nitrate, tetrabutyl titanate, anhydrous zinc chloride, and ferric chloride hexahydrate as raw materials by sol-gel and solvothermal methods. The samples were characterized and tested by scanning electron microscope, energy spectrum analyzer, X-ray powder diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, vibrating sample magnetometer, ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that ZnCaFe₂O₄/Ag/TiO₂-10 had the best photocatalytic effect, and the degradation rate of dye can reach more than 90% under both ultraviolet and visible light. It had excellent ultraviolet/visible light photocatalytic activity. And after being compounded with ZnCaFe₂O₄, ZnCaFe₂O₄/Ag/TiO₂ had unique magnetism, which can be recycled under the action of external magnetic field, which makes it possible in practical application. Through magnetic separation technology, the photocatalysis performance of ZnCaFe₂O₄/Ag/TiO₂-10 was still excellent after recycling for five times, which showed excellent magnetism and high photocatalytic cycle stability.
