A sustainable and multifunctional photocatalysis-based technology has been established herein for simultaneous hydrogen generation and oxidation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in real electroplating wastewater. When the photocatalyst concentration was 4 g/L and electroplating wastewater pH was 6, optimal adsorptions of EDTA 2- , H + , and H 2 O were observed, while hydrogen generation efficiency reached 305 µmol/(h g). Owing to EDTA oxidation and occupation of the active sites of the photocatalyst by Ni ions or Ni-EDTA chelates, the charge separation and adsorptions of H + and H 2 O decreased, reducing hydrogen generation efficiency with time. The lower EDTA and Ni concentrations in treated wastewater showed that photocatalytic conversion of EDTA in real electroplating wastewater to enhance hydrogen generation efficiency can be a practical alternative energy production technology. This study provided a novel idea to enhance the value of electroplating wastewater, to build a hydrogen generation route with no consumption of a valuable resource, and to reduce EDTA and Ni concentrations in electroplating wastewater.
