A simulated visible light-mediated iron oxide-titania (IoT) nanocomposite was employed to degrade the antibiotic norfloxacin (NFN) photocatalytically. The photocatalyst were prepared using a sol-gel method with controlled titania loadings to iron oxide by altering the fabrications step. The nanocomposites were structurally characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), field emission high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectra (DRS-UV) spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was observed that 100 mg/L of iron oxide doped titania loading at 1:4 (IoT-4) achieved the maximum photocatalytic activity in a 75 mg/100 mL of NFN solution within 60 min of the reaction time under visible light irradiation. The NFN degradation mechanism affirmed using HPLC-MS/MS analysis and the results confirmed the complete NFN degradation without residual intermediates. Significant, sustained recyclability was obtained by completely removing the contaminant up to 5 cycles with 90% degradation ability till nine cycles. Bacterial- and phytotoxicity data ascertain that the photocatalyzed and contaminant-free water is safe for the environment. The outstanding photocatalytic performance in removing organic pollutants indicates the potential application of IoT nanocomposites in real-time environmental remediation.
