Abstract: Novel AgBr/CaWO4 composite catalyst was synthesized by loading AgBr on CaWO4 substrate via ion exchange method.AgBr/CaWO4 was characterized by XRD,SEM and UV-Vis technology.The effect of loaded amount of AgBr and AgBr/CaWO4 amount on the degradation efficiency of methyl orange(MO) was studied under visible light irradiation condition(500 W,λ>;420 nm).The results showed that AgBr/CaWO4 displayed good photocatalytic activity and the degradation process of MO solution obeyed the pseudo-first-order kinetics equation.The photocatalytic activity of AgBr/CaWO4 for MO increased and tended to a maximal value with increasing the AgBr loaded amount,as well as AgBr/CaWO4 amount.
