Abstract
Photocatalysis is one of the most effective methods to remove pollutants from water. Photocatalyst is the core of photocatalysis. The composite photocatalyst combines the photosensitizer with the support and uses the photosensitivity of the photosensitizer and the stability and adsorption of the support to achieve efficient and rapid degradation of pharmaceuticals in water. In this study, natural aloe-emodin with π-conjugated structure was used as photosensitizer to react with macroporous resin polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) under mild conditions to prepare composite photocatalysts AE/PMMAs. The photocatalyst underwent photogenerated electron migration under visible light to form •O2- and holes with high oxidation activity, which could realize efficient photocatalytic degradation of ofloxacin and diclofenac sodium and showed excellent stability, recyclability and industrial feasibility. This research has developed an efficient method of composite photocatalyst and realized the application of a natural photosensitizer in pharmaceutical degradations.

Abstract
Owing to the frequent occurrence of diclofenac sodium (DS) in fresh aquatic environments and its potential toxicity towards living organisms, the effective removal of DS has attracted worldwide attention. Herein, a green and efficient strategy to fabricate crosslinked microspheres with interconnected mesoporous structures and abundant adsorption active sites was developed. With this strategy, triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC)-maleic anhydride (MAH) copolymer microspheres (TMs) with a diameter of 1.19-1.35 μm were first prepared by self-stabilized precipitation (2SP) polymerization, and the TMs possess a large amount reactive anhydride groups (62.5-71.8 mol%), a specific surface area of 51.6-182.4 m2 g-1 and a mesoporous structure (average pore size: 3.4-3.8 nm). Then the TMs were further functionalized with polyethylenimine (PEI) to give rise to cationic microspheres (Cat-TMs), which showed excellent adsorption performance to DS with a rapid adsorption rate (reached equilibrium within 30 min), a very high equilibrium adsorption capacity (1421 mg g-1) and excellent recyclability. The pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model were a good fit for the adsorption kinetic and isotherm process, respectively. Furthermore, due to the high cation density (4.291 mmol g-1) and excellent pH buffer capacity of Cat-TMs, the adsorption capacity can be maintained at a high level within the pH range of 6-10. The regenerated Cat-TMs showed only a slight loss (<5%) in the adsorption capacity even after 5 adsorption-desorption cycles. In short, Cat-TMs can be considered as a highly promising adsorbent for the rapid and ultra-efficient removal of anionic organic contaminants and have significant potential to be applied in wastewater treatment.
