The invention relates to a preparation method for a bismuth vanadate composite photocatalyst loaded with strontium ferrite, and belongs to the field of inorganic catalytic materials. According to the preparation method, bismuth vanadate adopts the structure of scheelite in the monoclinic system; while the degradation rate, of the composite photocatalyst loaded with the strontium ferrite, for methylene blue can reach 93 percent in 5h, the degradation rate, of a similar composite photocatalyst of bismuth vanadate loaded with ferroferric oxide, for the methylene blue can reach 80 percent in 8 h. Moreover, the prepared composite photocatalyst has photocatalysis activity in relatively-wide wavelength range, and can efficiently and cyclically degrade organic pollutants in heteroaromatic dye-type wastewater under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, visible light and natural light through photocatalysis. Meanwhile, the composite catalyst is convenient to recover with the recovery rate not less than 92 percent; the degradation rate, of the recovered composite catalyst, for the methylene blue can reach 60 percent in 5h. The preparation method is simple and has an excellent application prospect.
