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

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

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

In recent years, traces of acetaminophen, a widely used analgesic and anti-inflammatory and known to be an over-the-counter drug, have been detected unaltered in effluents of conventional wastewater treatment facilities. About 58–68% released through excretion during patient’s therapeutic treatment, and only about 80–86% were removed by the wastewater treatment facility. This study investigated the improved performance of photocatalysis in degrading or removing acetaminophen. The visible light active potassium peroxodisulfate-doped titanium dioxide photocatalysts synthesized via sol–gel method was used to eliminate acetaminophen from aqueous solutions through photocatalytic oxidation. The effects of the amount of dopant, calcination temperature and calcination time on the properties and visible light photocatalytic activity of potassium peroxodisulfate-doped titanium dioxide were also investigated. Increasing the amount of the dopant and calcination temperature up to a certain extent increases removal efficiency while further decreased the removal rate. Potassium peroxodisulfate-doped titanium dioxide photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible light diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Potassium peroxodisulfate-doped titanium dioxide with 0.5%w dopant and calcined at 300 °C for 3 h degrades about 100% acetaminophen in aqueous solution within 540 min. The reaction of acetaminophen with the photocatalyst has an apparent rate constant of 8.39 × 10?3 min?1.  相似文献

Undoped and Ni-doped TiO2 nanoparticles are synthesized using sol–gel technique. The physical, structural, optical and thermal properties of the samples are investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmittance electron microscopy, UV–visible diffuse reflectance and thermogravimetric analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the samples is investigated by the photocatalytic degradation of phthalate esters. Phthalate esters have been considered as endocrine disrupting compounds. Ni-doped TiO2 samples show better photocatalytic activity as compared to undoped TiO2 sample. The greater photocatalytic activity of doped samples as compared to undoped TiO2 can be attributed to the production of more number of electron–hole pairs in doped 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

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

Industrial effluents containing persistent pollutants play a significant role in environmental pollution. Classical techniques such as chlorination, coagulation, ion flotation, membrane process and sedimentation that have been used to decontaminate polluted water are incapable of efficient degradation due to the generation of secondary pollutants. Photocatalysis, an advanced oxidation process in which the photoreaction is accelerated by the irradiation of catalyst, has shown efficient degradation of recalcitrant in water system. Usage of nanoparticles as homogenous photocatalyst has become prevalent due to their improved properties such as large surface-to-volume ratio, controlled uniform particle size and its composition which enhances the degradation rate. The recombination of holes and electron pair which is considered to be the limitation in homogenous system can be overcome by nanocomposites or heterogeneous photocatalysts. This system decreases the rate of recombination, leading to effective degradation of individual pollutants because of their enhanced physicochemical and structural properties. In recent years, heterogeneous nanophotocatalytic processes employing titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) composites have gained immense research interest as an effective wastewater treatment method because of its efficacy in decomposing and mineralizing the hazardous organic and inorganic pollutants utilizing the UV and visible photons. This paper reviews about the process, synthesis and parameters influencing photocatalytic reaction and their kinetics with much emphasize on types of nanoparticles and nanocomposites and its application in wastewater treatment.  相似文献

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

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

In this study, a series of RE3+:YVO4 catalysts were successful synthesized by environmentally friendly mild hydrothermal and supercritical hydrothermal techniques. The rare earth-doped YVO4 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the as-prepared YVO4 crystals are of tetragonal phase. Further, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy result shows the absence of OH– molecules. The photoluminescence spectroscopy curves and UV–Vis spectra suggest that the band gap energy of YVO4 is shifted to lower energy level due to doping of Nd3+ and Er3+ ions. The catalytic activities of the as-prepared RE3+:YVO4 samples were tested for the photodegradation of amaranth aqueous dye solution under sunlight irradiation. Remarkably, the rare earth-doped YVO4 nanocrystal sample showed outstanding photocatalytic degradation activities than undoped YVO4 nanocrystal sample with good reusability. Under full spectrum irradiation, the as-prepared Nd3+-doped YVO4 nanocrystals exhibited about 83% degradation efficiency. The apparent rate constant k for as-prepared Nd3+-doped YVO4 nanocrystals with 50 mg of photocatalyst exhibits highest k value (0.32 min?1), which is 2.9% higher than pure YVO4 nanocrystals (0.11 min?1).  相似文献

In this paper, the adsorption and degradation phenomenon involved in the photocatalytic degradation of dimethyl phthalates (DMPs) by titanium dioxide (TiO2) was studied. A variety of operating variables were selected firstly. Then, it was proved that even for such weak adsorption properties molecules as DMP, adsorption was still an important prerequisite for photolysis. A surface-mediated reaction process was proposed that the photodegradation of DMP assisted by TiO2 particles occurred primarily at the surface of the photocatalyst rather than in the homogeneous phase. According to Langmuir–Hinshelwood model, the adsorption constant determined from the dark adsorption was far less than that obtained in the light condition. Enhanced DMP adsorption on the surface of TiO2 under irradiation was the possible reason for the improvement of photodegradation efficiency. Under the irradiation of light, a synergistic mechanism of adsorption and photocatalysis was responsible for DMP degradation. The quantitative analysis by adding scavengers indicated that ·OH radical was primarily responsible for the photodegradation of DMP. It was further verified that ·OH was produced much more from conduction band electrons rather than valance band holes toward photodegradation of DMP by adding foreign Cu2+.  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

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

More effective techniques are required to mineralize the increasing number of recalcitrant organic contaminants at low concentrations in the water environment using advanced oxidation process. Though relatively new, photocatalytic ozonation (O3/UV/TiO2) is considered superior to ozonation (O3) and photocatalysis (UV/TiO2), due to synergistic effects and use of immobilized TiO2 photocatalysts is a milestone in advance oxidation process. This article aimed to elucidate 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) mineralization characteristics in low aqueous solutions by O3/UV/TiO2 using the world’s first high-strength TiO2 fiber catalyst in laboratory experiments. 2, 4-D degradation and TOC removal in O3, UV/TiO2 and O3/UV/TiO2 followed pseudo-first order reaction kinetic. The removal rates for 2, 4-D and TOC in O3/UV/TiO2 were respectively about 1.5 and 2.4-fold larger than the summation of the corresponding values in O3 and UV/TiO2. The O3/UV/TiO2 process was characterized by short-lived few aromatic intermediates, faster degradations of aliphatic intermediates and dechlorination as a major step in 2, 4-D mineralization. The significantly enhanced 2, 4-D mineralization in the process was attributed to increased ozone decomposition and reduced electron-hole recombination on TiO2 surface resulting to a large number of OH generation. The O3/UV/TiO2 process with the TiO2 fiber catalyst was very promising with respect to the major challenges being faced in AOP involving TiO2, namely separation of powder catalyst in suspension and reduced efficiency of immobilized catalysts (e.g. TiO2 film/fiber).  相似文献

Evidence is available that some elements, notably Zr, TiO2, Y, Sc, Ce and Nb are largely immobile during the alteration of volcanic rocks owing to metamorphism, hydrothermal events and weathering (e.g. Floyd and Winchester, 1978). However, it is shown, by reference to analyses of rocks from the environment of five volcanogenic massive sulphide bodies, that while Zr, TiO2 (and Ce?) are mostly immobile even during intense hydrothermal alteration, Y and particularly Sc and Nb may be extremely mobile. When elements are removed by solution in a hydrothermal fluid it seems that reaction rates are such that these elements are almost totally removed from the rock. Therefore, of the so-called immobile trace elements, only Zr and TiO2 may be used with any reliability to identify the degree of magmatic differentiation in an hydrothermally altered rock. However, if an element has been mobile it is usually readily identified as having moved.  相似文献
