Transition metal-doped TiO2 nanoparticles are synthesized by sol–gel method. The as-prepared samples are characterized by various techniques to correlate structural and optical properties with chemical nature of dopants and their effect on photocatalytic degradation of diethyl phthalate esters. X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals that all the samples are crystalline and exhibit anatase as a major phase. Chemical nature of dopants could not affect the formation of anatase and its volume fraction. The crystallite size of undoped and doped TiO2 nanoparticles varies between 10 and 12 nm as confirmed by XRD and transmission electron microscope. The lowest optical band gap observed is 2.47 eV in Mn-doped TiO2. Among all the samples, Ni-doped TiO2 sample shows better photocatalytic activity and degradation of diethyl phthalate due to its lower crystallite size and higher surface area than those of Mn- and Co-doped TiO2 samples.  相似文献

In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of Congo red has been investigated in N-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) aqueous suspensions under visible light irradiation. Visible light-active N-TiO2 was successfully prepared at three different weight contents (2.5, 5, and 7%) employing sol–gel method. It was able to harvest the visible irradiation with wavelength suitable for activation. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, diffused reflectance UV–Vis spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption Brunauer–Emmert–Teller, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were used to characterize the doped catalyst. The samples had a relatively large specific Brunauer–Emmert–Teller surface areas of about 42 m2 g?1 with average X-ray diffraction crystalline size of 52 nm and showed visible light photocatalytic activity at about 408 nm. The impacts of several operating parameters on the Congo red photodegradation process were examined. Langmuir–Hinshelwood model exhibited pseudo-first-order degradation kinetics. N-TiO2-assisted plausible photodegradation mechanism has been suggested based on the qualitatively detected intermediate compounds.  相似文献

WO3-modified TiO2 polyscale crystals were fabricated successfully using the hydrothermal technique. The as-prepared samples were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and UV–vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic application of these synthesized samples was confirmed by photocatalytic degradation of fast green dye solution under sunlight and UV irradiation. The degradation efficiency was analyzed by measuring the parameters such as percent transmittance, chemical oxygen demand and percent decomposition of the dye solution. It was noted that the photodegradation efficiency of the samples varies with added amounts of WO3 content. The highest photodegradation efficiency was obtained using 2WT sample where the pace of decomposition was 70.5% under UV light and 81.3% under sunlight.  相似文献

A low-cost visible light-driven silver/titanium oxide/expanded perlite (Ag/TiO2/EP) as a floating plasmonic photocatalyst is fabricated by a simple hydrolysis method. Photocatalytic properties of Ag/TiO2/EP have been studied by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis (DRS), EDAX, FTIR, chemiluminescence, photoluminescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy methods. The photocatalytic activity of resulting Ag/TiO2/EP with different Ag contents (3 and 5%) was evaluated by its ability to degrade furfural solution under visible light irradiation. The Ag/TiO2/EP exhibits wide absorption in the visible light region and shows visible light-driven photocatalytic activities in furfural degradation compared with TiO2/EP photocatalyst. The Ag/TiO2/EP (5%) was the best concentration of photocatalyst dosage with almost 80% furfural degradation under visible light. The antibacterial character of Ag/TiO2/EP with different Ag contents has been tested against Escherichia Coli under visible light. The photocatalytic activity of Ag/TiO2/EP can be attributed to the plasmonic effect of silver in the separation of photoinduced electrons and holes in resulting photocatalyst. The Ag/TiO2/EP (5%) as a floating photocatalyst combined with its ability to absorb visible light makes it of significant interest for the purification of industrial wastewater.  相似文献

This study investigated the performance of UV light active TiO2 and UV–visible light active WO3/TiO2 nanoparticles as air purifying materials that can be potentially applied to urban green infrastructures such as rain gardens and pervious pavements. Using a laboratory-scale continuous gas flow photoreactor, the removal efficiency of gaseous nitrogen oxide (NO x ) by two different photocatalytic nanoparticles coated on natural zeolites and pervious concrete blocks was evaluated. The results showed that the TiO2- and WO3/TiO2-coated zeolites are excellent photoactive materials providing enhanced air purification function (~95% removal efficiency of NO x ) under UV and UV–visible light irradiation, respectively. In contrast, both of the TiO2- and WO3/TiO2-coated pervious concrete blocks showed a measurable NO x removal (~60%) only under UV irradiation, whereas the visible light activity of the WO3/TiO2-coated concrete block was significantly reduced (~20%) mainly due to the decrease in the photocatalytic reaction sites for visible light. This study revealed the potential utility of photocatalytic nanoparticles in improving urban air quality, in the form of the surface component of various urban infrastructures.  相似文献

To enhance the overall efficiency of oil and grease removal in wastewater coated N-doped TiO2 photocatalytic polyscales were fabricated through sol–gel technique. The materials fabricated were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. In order to enhance degradation efficiency of organic pollutant under natural sun light, shifting of absorption range of TiO2 to visible spectrum, various modifications such as surface modification and size optimization were carried out by doping of nitrogen under sol–gel processes. To ease recovery of suspended catalysts from aqueous media, the coated N-doped TiO2 were prepared by decorating photocatalytic particles onto suitable substrates. N-doped TiO2 polyscales with desired functionalities were coated onto the spherical supporting substrates using a binding agent. The photocatalytic treatment studies clearly indicated the considerable level of the oil and grease and other organic pollutants removal from wastewater (up to 85–90 % ± 2) using coated N-doped TiO2 under natural sunlight as an alternative driving energy source. Removal of oil and grease along with other organic pollutants in wastewater using coated N-doped TiO2 polyscales is a versatile, economical, and environmental friendly technique due to the ease of handling and recovery, utilization of natural sunlight which is renewable energy source.  相似文献

It is demonstrated that single titanium dioxide (TiO2) has high potential for photodegradation of pollutants. However, it is still far from becoming an effective photocatalyst system, due to issues of adsorption process, separation, as well as dissolution. Therefore, this study highlights the high adsorption capacity, simplified separation, and the promising stability of TiO2(SY) (synthesized via sol–gel method) photocatalyst, fabricated using chitosan–TiO2(SY) and supported by glass substrate (Cs–TiO2(SY)/glass substrate) photocatalysts. Chitosan (Cs), with abundant –R–NH and NH2 groups, promotes the adsorption sites of methyl orange (MO) and OH groups for major attachment to TiO2(SY). Meanwhile, the glass substrate increases stability and assists separation of the photocatalysts. Initially, nano-TiO2(SY) has been characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscope. Cs–TiO2(SY)/glass substrate was fabricated via dip-coating. The distribution and interface between the photocatalytic components were characterized by Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectrometer. UV–Vis analysis of the multilayer photocatalyst (2, 4, 6, and 8 layers) was further carried out by the adsorption–photodegradation, with MO as model of pollutant. Seventy percent of the total removal of MO via optimized eight layers of photocatalyst was achieved within 1 h of UV irradiation. The adsorption photocatalyst achieved 50 % with no exposure to UV light for 15 min of irradiation. It is concluded that suitable photocatalytic conditions and sample parameters possessing the multilayer photocatalyst of Cs–TiO2(SY) are beneficial toward the adsorption–photodegradation process in wastewater treatment.  相似文献

Evaluation of the photocatalytic activities of TiO2 nanomaterials based on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) analyses under identical experimental conditions was not previously reported. In this work, COD has been selected as an adequate industrial water quality measure toward the establishment of a representative standard test method. The initial COD values of six organic pollutants representing dye, surfactants, phenols and alcohol were set at 30 ± 2 mg/L. Ten of different commercial and synthesized TiO2 samples representing anatase, rutile and mixed phases were used and characterized. The data of photocatalytic processes were compared to that obtained using the commonly widespread Degussa-P25 TiO2 (TD). The COD of all pollutants was completely removed by TD at UV exposure dose ≤9.36 mWh/cm2. Consequently, the maximum irradiation dose was set at this value in all experiments. The percentages of COD removal as well as the values of the accumulated UV doses required for complete removal of pollutants were measured using the different TiO2 samples. TiO2 samples show different performance abilities toward the various pollutants compared to TD. Based on the obtained data, TiO2 photocatalysts were divided into two categories according to the hydroxyl radical formation rates. Comparison with previous studies reveals that the photocatalytic efficiency evaluation depends on the method of measurement. COD is recommended to be used as an adequate technique of analysis that meets the purpose of water treatment applications.  相似文献

The composite of TiO2 and zeolite H-ZSM-5 has great photocatalytic ability for organic contaminants over a very large specific surface area and highlighted adsorption capacity. To describe abiotic degradation of imidacloprid, the photoinduced degradation of the pesticide imidacloprid in aqueous solutions, in the presence of TiO2 supported on H-ZSM-5 as photocatalyst, was performed. The study focused on the comparison of the imidacloprid degradation between photolysis and photocatalysis. The experimental results showed that the degradation of imidacloprid was more rapid in the condition of photocatalytic than that of photolysis or TiO2-only. The identification of possible intermediate products during the degradation was investigated by the high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC/TOF-MS). The main photocatalytic products were identified as chloronictinic acid, 1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl) methyl]-2-imidazolidinone and 1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl) methyl]-N-nitroso-2-imidazolidimine.  相似文献

The Claus process has been used for the conversion of H2S and SO2 to elemental sulfur. These two sulfur compounds need special attention because they are very poisonous with negative impact on both the environment and human health. Here, highly active Fe–Ni/TiO2 catalyst has been prepared and shaped by three different binders (bentonite, polyethylene glycol and carboxymethyl cellulose) into extrudes. Comparing the mechanical strength and surface area of prepared extrudes, the optimal shaped catalyst was selected with 20% of bentonite, 2% of PEG and 2% of CMC. The optimal catalyst was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface area, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray techniques and used for sulfur recovery process. The performance of this product for sulfur recovery via Claus process was excellent with the conversion of hydrogen sulfide of 76.77% and sulfur dioxide of 97.83%. The catalyst also provides high hydrolysis activity of CS2 (83.06%). Therefore, a highly active TiO2-supported shaped catalyst with 85.62% of conversion efficiency has been prepared successfully to convert the small amounts of H2S, SO2 and CS2 to elemental sulfur.  相似文献

The photocatalytic degradation of Indigo Caramine dye using commercial TiO2 and fine grained natural rutile has been carried out. The commercial TiO2 and natural rutile were characterized using powder X- ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infra red spectroscopy (FTIR). The study on the photodegradation of Indigo Caramine dye using commercial TiO2 and natural rutile were investigated both under Solar and UV irradiation. The degradation of Indigo Caramine dye was checked by the following parameters like Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), %T, irradiation time and duration. In both cases using commercial TiO2 and natural rutile, the COD of the dye solution was reduced from 288 mg/L to less than 20 mg/L, and similarly the %T was increased from 76% to 97% and the percentage decomposition upto 97% within the irradiation duration of 3.5 hrs. The preliminary results obtained on the photodegradation of Indigo Caramine dye are highly encouraging and further work is being carried out for the use of the natural rutile or anatase sources for the other organic decomposition and treatment of industrial effluents.  相似文献

An immobilized clay composite (BEN–PVAG) on a glass plate (GP) was fabricated using bentonite powder (BEN) and glutaraldehyde cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVAG) as the adsorbent and adhesive, respectively. The immobilized bentonite composite (BEN–PVAG) was characterized using SEM, EDX, FTIR, and BET analysis. The adsorption capacity of BEN–PVAG was examined using methylene blue (MB) as the model pollutant. The results indicated that the adsorption of MB onto BEN–PVAG obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetics. In addition, the adsorption of MB by the immobilized BEN–PVAG was controlled by intra-particle diffusion. In contrast, the adsorption of MB by the suspended BEN–PVAG composite was dominated by film diffusion. The immobilized BEN–PVAG was then applied as the adsorbent sub-layer for the fabrication of P-25TiO2/BEN–PVAG/GP bilayer system where P-25TiO2 was deposited as the top layer. The fabricated bilayer system exhibited synergistic photocatalytic-adsorptive removal of MB upon irradiation with a light source, while experiment in the dark yielded only adsorption process. The rate of the synergistic photocatalytic-adsorptive removal of MB by the P-25TiO2/BEN–PVAG/GP was 5.3 times faster than the suspended P-25TiO2. The result implied the positive impact of the BEN–PVAG adsorbent sub-layer on the immobilized P-25TiO2 photocatalyst. Most important, the immobilized P-25TiO2/BEN–PVAG/GP provided a convenient reuse of the catalyst over time where the treated water could be directly discharged without the need of filtration.  相似文献

The transition between rutile and α-PbO2 structured TiO2 (TiO2II) has been investigated at 700–1,200 °C and 4.2–9.6 GPa. Hydrothermal phase equilibrium experiments were performed in the multi-anvil apparatus to bracket the phase boundary at 700, 1,000, and 1,200 °C. The equilibrium phase boundary is described by the equation: P (GPa)=1.29+0.0065 T ( °C). In addition, growth of TiO2II was observed in experiments at 500 and 600 °C, although growth of rutile was too slow to bracket unambiguously the equilibrium boundary at these temperatures. Water was not detected in either rutile or TiO2II, and dry synthesis experiments at 1,200 °C were consistent with the phase boundary determined in the fluid-bearing experiments, suggesting that the equilibrium is unaffected by the presence of water. Our bracket of the phase boundary at 700 °C is consistent with the reversed, dry experiments of Akaogi et al. (1992) and the reversals of Olsen et al. (1999). The new data suggest that the phase boundary is linear, in agreement with Akaogi et al. (1992), but in striking contrast to the phase diagram inferred by Olsen et al. (1999). The natural occurrence of TiO2II requires formation pressures considerably higher than the graphite–diamond phase boundary.  相似文献

The photoreduction efficiency of toxic hexavalent chromium into non-toxic trivalent chromium was studied using local low-cost material and modern technology. The materials involved different iron–titanium oxide nanopowders synthesized via simple hydrothermal–hydrolysis process. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscope were employed to study the structural properties of the as-prepared samples. The effects of molar ratio (Fe/Ti) and hydrothermal temperature on spectroscopic properties have been investigated using Fourier transform infrared FT-IR spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of hexavalent chromium was systematically studied at various conditions including initial concentration of Cr(VI), hydrothermal temperature and Fe/Ti ratios of mixed iron–titanium oxide powders. It has been found that the highest photoreduction efficiencies of Cr(VI) were 95.7 and 86.2% at initial concentrations 10 and 60 ppm of Cr(VI), respectively. The synthesized mixed Fe2O3–TiO2 photocatalyst exhibited higher efficiency of about 88% under visible light irradiation. The as-prepared mixed oxide catalyst exhibited high photocatalytic conversion efficiency and recycling stability in comparison with different commercial catalysts.  相似文献

Mineral equilibria calculations in the system K2O–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O–TiO2–Fe2O3 (KFMASHTO) using thermocalc and its internally consistent thermodynamic dataset constrain the effect of TiO2 and Fe2O3 on greenschist and amphibolite facies mineral equilibria in metapelites. The end‐member data and activity–composition relationships for biotite and chloritoid, calibrated with natural rock data, and activity–composition data for garnet, calibrated using experimental data, provide new constraints on the effects of TiO2 and Fe2O3 on the stability of these minerals. Thermodynamic models for ilmenite–hematite and magnetite–ulvospinel solid solutions accounting for order–disorder in these phases allow the distribution of TiO2 and Fe2O3 between oxide minerals and silicate minerals to be calculated. The calculations indicate that small to moderate amounts of TiO2 and Fe2O3 in typical metapelitic bulk compositions have little effect on silicate mineral equilibria in metapelites at greenschist to amphibolite facies, compared with those calculated in KFMASH. The addition of large amounts of TiO2 to typical pelitic bulk compositions has little effect on the stability of silicate assemblages; in contrast, rocks rich in Fe2O3 develop a markedly different metamorphic succession from that of common Barrovian sequences. In particular, Fe2O3‐rich metapelites show a marked reduction in the stability fields of staurolite and garnet to higher pressures, in comparison to those predicted by KFMASH grids.  相似文献

Investigation by Raman spectroscopy of samples from different geological settings shows that the occurrence of TiO2 polymorphs other than rutile can hardly be predicted, and furthermore, the occurrence of anatase is more widespread than previously thought. Metamorphic pressure and temperature, together with whole rock chemistry, control the occurrence of anatase, whereas variation of mineral assemblage characteristics and/or fluid occurrence or composition takes influence on anatase trace element characteristics and re-equilibration of relict rutiles. Evaluation of trace element contents obtained by electron microprobe in anatase, brookite, and rutile shows that these vary significantly between the three TiO2 phases. Therefore, on the one hand, an appropriation to source rock type according to Nb and Cr contents, but as well application of thermometry on the basis of Zr contents, would lead to erroneous results if no phase specification is done beforehand. For the elements Cr, V, Fe, and Nb, variation between the polymorphs is systematic and can be used for discrimination on the basis of a linear discriminant analysis. Using phase group means and coefficients of linear discriminants obtained from a compilation of analyses from samples with well-defined phase information together with prior probabilities of groupings from a natural sample compilation, one is able to calculate phase grouping probabilities of any TiO2 analysis containing at least the critical elements Cr, V, Fe, and Nb. An application of this calculation shows that for the appropriation to the phase rutile, a correct-classification rate of 99.5% is obtained. Hence, phase specification by trace elements proves to be a valuable tool besides Raman spectroscopy.  相似文献

During dyeing process, industries consume large quantity of water and subsequently produce large volume of wastewater. This wastewater is rich in color and contains different dyes. Orange II is one of them. In this article, metal-impregnated TiO2 P-25 catalyst was used to enhance the photocatalytic degradation of Orange II dye. Photodegradation percentage was followed spectrophotometrically by the measurements of absorbance at λ max = 483 nm. The effect of copper-impregnated TiO2 P-25 photocatalyst for the degradation of Orange II has been investigated in terms of percentage removal of color, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC). As such 98 % color removal efficiency, 97 % percentage removal of COD and 89 % percentage removal of TOC was achieved with TiO2 P-25/Cu catalysts under typical conditions. Copper-impregnated TiO2 P-25 photocatalyst showed comparatively higher activity than UV/H2O2 homogeneous photodegradation. The relative electrical energy consumption for photocatalytic degradation was considerably lower with TiO2 P-25/Cu photocatalyst than that with homogeneous photodegradation. Transmission electron microscopic analysis was used for catalyst characterization.  相似文献

Pure titanate nanotubes and titanate nanotubes doped with iron (III) and chromium (III) were fabricated by the hydrothermal treatment in methanol and sodium hydroxide mixture. The fabricated nano tubes have high surface area, high aspect ratio, consisted of very good surface morphology and high metals dispersion. The morphology, crysralline phase, composition were characterized by powdered X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Barrett-Joyner-Halenda methods and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that nanotubes possess anatase phase and are composed up of 8–12 nm in diameter and 360–400 nm in length. The band gap of the titanium dioxide nanotubes was determined using transformed diffuse reflectance spectroscopy according to the Kubelka-Munk theory, showed pronounced band gap decrease on doped titanium dioxide nanotubes. The photocatalytic activity of doped nanotubes were evaluated in terms of degradation of phenol and photoreduction of carbon dioxide into methanol and ethanol under Ultra violet and Infra red irradiation. It was found that with iron (III) and chromium (III) doped titanium dioxide nanotubes exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than undoped titanate nanotubes.  相似文献

Stability and phase relations of coexisting enstatite and H2 fluid were investigated in the pressure and temperature regions of 3.1–13.9 GPa and 1500–2000 K using laser-heated diamond-anvil cells. XRD measurements showed decomposition of enstatite upon heating to form forsterite, periclase, and coesite/stishovite. In the recovered samples, SiO2 grains were found at the margin of the heating hot spot, suggesting that the SiO2 component dissolved in the H2 fluid during heating, then precipitated when its solubility decreased with decreasing temperature. Raman and infrared spectra of the coexisting fluid phase revealed that SiH4 and H2O molecules formed through the reaction between dissolved SiO2 and H2. In contrast, forsterite and periclase crystals were found within the hot spot, which were assumed to have replaced the initial orthoenstatite crystals without dissolution. Preferential dissolution of SiO2 components of enstatite in H2 fluid, as well as that observed in the forsterite H2 system and the quartz H2 system, implies that H2-rich fluid enhances Mg/Si fractionation between the fluid and solid phases of mantle minerals.  相似文献

The phase relations and compression behavior of MnTiO3 perovskite were examined using a laser-heated diamond-anvil cell, X-ray diffraction, and analytical transmission electron microscopy. The results show that MnTiO3 perovskite becomes unstable and decomposes into MnO and orthorhombic MnTi2O5 phases at above 38 GPa and high temperature. This is the first example of ABO3 perovskite decomposing into AO + AB2O5 phases at high pressure. The compression behavior of volume, axes, and the tilting angle of TiO6 octahedron of MnTiO3 perovskite are consistent with those of other A2+B4+O3 perovskites, although no such decomposition was observed in other perovskites. FeTiO3 is also known to decompose into two phases, instead of transforming into the CaIrO3-type post-perovskite phase and we argue that one of the reasons for the peculiar behavior of titanate is the weak covalency of the Ti–O chemical bonds.  相似文献
