Abstract
This study addressed the challenge of removing zearalenone (ZEN), an estrogen-mimicking mycotoxin found in food and feed. It investigated platy kaolinite, raw halloysite, and synthetic kaolinite nanotubes as supports for TiO2, graphitic carbon nitride (GCN), and their mixture in ZEN photodegradation under UV light. These mineral supports enhanced the textural properties of the photocatalysts and significantly improved charge separation. Kaolinite nanotubes combined with GCN and TiO2/GCN composites achieved over 98.8% and 97.7% ZEN removal, respectively, from an initial 10 ppm concentration after 25 min of irradiation. Tests in visible light, across varying pH levels, in tap water, and with co-contaminants emphasized the importance of reaction conditions, while reuse experiments confirmed the stability and reusability of the composite material. The investigations supported by UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis showed that the photodegradation pathway involved hydrolysis, oxidation, and cleavage, leading to simpler, oxygen-rich chain structures that can ultimately be mineralized to CO2 and H2O. © 2025 The Author(s)
