Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange using a TiO2/Ti mesh electrode with 3D nanotube arrays

To further improve the photocatalytic techniques for water purification and wastewater treatment, we successfully prepared a new type of TiO(2)/Ti mesh photoelectrode, by anodization in ethylene glycol solution. The three-dimensional arrays of nanotubes formed on Ti mesh show a significant improvement in photocatalytic activity, compared to the nanotube arrays formed on foil. This can be demonstrated by about 22 and 38% enhancement in the degradation efficiency per mass and per area, respectively, when TiO(2)/Ti mesh electrode was used to photocatalyze methyl orange (MO). Furthermore, the effects of different parameters on MO photodegradation were investigated, such as different photoelectrode calcination temperature, the initial pH value of MO solution, and the present of hydrogen peroxide. The superior photocatalytic activity could be achieved by the TiO(2)/Ti mesh photoelectrode calcinated at 550 °C, due to the appearance of mixed crystal phases of anatase and rutile. In strong acidic or caustic conditions, such as pH 1 or 13, a high degradation efficiency can be both obtained. The presence of H(2)O(2) in photocatalytic reactions can promote photocatalytic degradation efficiencies. Moreover, the experimental results demonstrated the excellent stability and reliability of the TiO(2)/Ti mesh electrode.     

Characterization and Photocatalytic Efficiency of TiO2 /Ti Beads Fabricated by Simple Heat-Treatment

The goal of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic efficiency of titanium dioxide (TiO 2) formed on titanium (Ti) bead substrate (referred herein as TiO 2 /Ti beads) by heat treatment when exposing to ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation.Escherichia coli was used as the model test organism.The results show 4-log and 7-log decrease in bacterial concentration after a test time of 15 and 120 min,respectively,using TiO 2 /Ti beads irradiated with UV light in a tin-foil covered beaker.This article presents the potential of TiO 2 on Ti bead substrate formed by simple heat-treatment together with UV light for bacterial inactivation.     

Use of an integrated photocatalysis/hollow fiber microfiltration system for the removal of trichloroethylene in water

This work focused on the degradation of toxic organic compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) in water, using a combined photocatalysis/microfiltration (MF) system. The performances of the hybrid system were investigated in terms of the removal efficiency of TCE and membrane permeability, in the presence or absence of background species, such as alkalinity and humic acids. The mass balancing of the fate of TCE during photocatalytic reactions was performed in order to evaluate the feasibility of the photocatalytic membrane reactor (PMR). Greater TCE degradation (>60%) was achieved with an increase in the TiO2 dosage (up to 1.5g/L) in PMR, but a substantially large TiO2 dosage brought about a decrease in TCE degradation efficiency. The photocatalytic decomposition of TCE appeared to be more effective in acidic pH conditions than with a neutral or alkaline pH. The addition of alkalinity and humic acid into the feedwater did not have a significant effect on TCE degradation, while humic acids (whose dose was 1mg/L as TOC) in the feedwater played a part in a decline of permeability by 60%. Membrane permeability in the PMR was also affected by tangential velocities. An improvement of 60% in flux was achieved when the tangential velocity increased from 0.19 to 1.45m/s. This is because flow regimes can govern the deposition of TiO2 particles on the membrane surface.

Synergy between surface adsorption and photocatalysis during degradation of humic acid on TiO2/activated carbon composites

A photocatalyst comprising nano-sized TiO(2) particles on granular activated carbon (GAC) was prepared by a sol-dipping-gel process. The TiO(2)/GAC composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractiometry (XRD) and nitrogen sorptometry, and its photocatalytic activity was studied through the degradation of humic acid (HA) in a quartz glass reactor. The factors influencing photocatalysis were investigated and the GAC was found to be an ideal substrate for nano-sized TiO(2) immobilization. A 99.5% removal efficiency for HA from solution was achieved at an initial concentration of 15 mg/L in a period of 3h. It was found that degradation of HA on the TiO(2)/GAC composite was facilitated by the synergistic relationship between surface adsorption characteristics and photocatalytic potential. The fitting of experimental results with the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) model showed that the reaction rate constant and the adsorption constant values were 0.1124 mg/(L min) and 0.3402 L/mg. The latter is 1.7 times of the calculated value by fitting the adsorption equilibrium data into the Langmuir equation.     

Fabrication of TiO2 nanotubes by atomic layer deposition and their photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical applications

The formation of TiO(2) nanotubes was conducted by atomic layer deposition (ALD) with tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) gallium (GaQ(3)) nanowires as a template at different substrate temperatures, 50, 100, and 200?°C. TiO(2) nanotubes were formed only at 50 and 100?°C. Although a higher growth rate at 50?°C was observed, nanotubes with better uniformity, conformality, and less residual chloride were obtained at 100?°C because of a different formation mechanism. A photocatalysis test of TiO(2) nanotubes prepared by different cycle numbers at 100?°C was conducted. It showed that TiO(2) nanotubes prepared by 400 cycles of ALD and treated at 700?°C for 1 h to form anatase phase had the best photocatalytic performance. Compared with P-25, the nanotubes showed higher photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B and water splitting efficiency.

Electrochemical treatment of anionic surfactants in synthetic wastewater with three-dimensional electrodes

The electrochemical oxidation of anionic surfactants (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, DBS) contained in simulated wastewater treated by three-dimensional electrode system with combined modified kaolin served as packed bed particle electrodes and Ti/Co/SnO(2)-Sb(2)O(3) anode was studied, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal of pollutants in the solutions was also investigated. The results showed that the three-dimensional electrodes in combined process could effectively decompose anionic surfactants. The COD removal efficiency can reach 86%, much higher than that of Ti/Co/SnO(2)-Sb(2)O(3) electrodes used singly or modified kaolin employed singly (graphite as anode and cathode) on the same condition of pH 3 and 38.1 mA/cm(2) current density. The current efficiency and kinetic constant were calculated and energy consumption was studied. At the same time the influence of pH and current density on COD removal efficiency with combined three-dimensional electrodes was also investigated, respectively. The optimal initial pH value of degradation is 3 (acid condition), and a minor COD removal increase follows higher current density.     

Comparative study of photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic properties of alachlor using different morphology TiO2/Ti photoelectrodes

Wormhole-shaped TiO(2)/Ti (WT) and nanotube-shaped TiO(2)/Ti (TNT) photoelectrodes were prepared by anodic oxidation method. The morphology and structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that both crystal types of WT and TNT photoelectrodes were composed of anatase and rutile TiO(2) phases; however TNT photoelectrodes had highly ordered nanostructure. The photoelectrochemical (PECH) and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) properties of WT and TNT photoelectrodes were investigated by photocurrent transient, open-circuit potential and degradation rate of alachlor under the artificial solar light illumination. All results showed that TNT photoelectrodes prepared in NaF-Na(2)SO(4) solution have more excellent photoelectron properties than WT photoelectrodes prepared in H(2)SO(4) solution. The photocatalytic (PC) and PEC experiments of alachlor showed that PC and PEC activities of TNT photoelectrodes were superior to WT photoelectrodes. At applied bias potentials the degradation rate of alachlor at TNT photoelectrodes increased significantly to 94.5%. The higher PC and PEC performance of TNT photoelectrodes were ascribed to the long-range ordered structure and short-orientation diffusion distance of photogenerated carries.     

Visible-light-driven photocatalysis with dopamine-derivatized titanium dioxide/<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-doped carbon core/shell nanoparticles

Titanium dioxide/N-doped carbon core/shell nanoparticles enabling efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B, considered a model compound for water-soluble environmental pollutants, were successfully prepared by the carbonization of dopamine-grafted TiO₂ nanoparticles. These precursor nanoparticles were prepared via simple ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) between TiO₂ nanoparticles and dopamine. Owing to the incorporation of Ti–O–C chelating bonds and the subsequent narrowing of the optical band gap, the dopamine-derivatized photocatalyst demonstrated enhanced activity compared with that of commercial photocatalysts and promoted the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B under both UV light and visible light. This LMCT-mediated incorporation of thin amorphous N-doped carbon shells onto the surface of semiconducting photocatalysts may be widely applicable for the generation of novel and robust hybrid materials with enhanced photocatalytic activities for many applications.     

Optimization of photocatalytic oxidation of 2,2',3,3'-tetrachlorobiphenyl

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are wide spread environmental pollutants. This research focused the optimum physico-chemical conditions under which photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) can be used to degrade 2,2',3,3'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (tetra-CB). Among the optimal physico-chemical conditions studied were UV intensity, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) concentrations, initial pH, and possible reaction intermediates were also determined. The results indicate that the optimal physico-chemical conditions necessary for the degradation of tetra-CB by PCO were UV intensity at 3.16 mW/cm2, 30 mM of H2O2 and 100 mg/l of TiO2. In contrast to the results of PCO studies on other organic compounds, the optimum pH for PCO degradation of tetra-CB was 5.5. The removal efficiency was also higher under acidic conditions than alkaline conditions. Although degradation intermediates such as 1,3-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)benzene, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol, and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde were identified at an early stage in the reaction process, they were not completely degraded even after 7h of PCO reaction.     

Application of TiO2-coated alumina beads to dielectric barrier discharge-photocatalyst hybrid process for NO and SO2 removals

NO and SO2 removal by dielectric barrier discharge-photocatalyst (DBD-P) hybrid process was examined for various conditions of process variables. Alumina beads were coated with TiO2 thin film by a rotating cylindrical PCVD reactor and they were packed inside the cylindrical reactor. The NO and SO2 removal efficiencies can be enhanced by using a combination of dielectric barrier discharge and photodegradation by TiO2. The stronger the applied voltage is, the higher the pulse frequency is, or the longer the gas residence time is, the higher the NO and SO2 removal efficiencies become. By applying additional photocatalytic effect, NO removal efficiency increased more significantly than SO2 removal efficiency, because SO2 removal efficiency was already high by dielectric barrier discharge only. In this study, we found that the alumina beads coated with TiO2 thin film by a rotating cylindrical PCVD reactor could be used effectively to remove NO and SO2 by DBD-P hybrid process.

Application of visible-light photocatalysis with nitrogen-doped or unmodified titanium dioxide for control of indoor-level volatile organic compounds

The present study evaluated visible-light photocatalysis, applying an annular reactor coated with unmodified or nitrogen (N)-doped titanium dioxide (TiO(2)), to cleanse gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at indoor levels. The surface chemistry investigation of N-doped TiO(2) suggested that there was no significant residual of sulfate ions or urea species on the surface of the N-doped TiO(2). Under visible-light irradiation, the photocatalytic technique using N-doped TiO(2) was much superior to that for unmodified TiO(2) for the degradation of VOCs. Moreover, the degradation efficiency by a reactor coated with N-doped TiO(2) was well above 90% for four target compounds (ethyl benzene, o,m,p-xylenes), suggesting that this photocatalytic system can be effectively employed to cleanse these pollutants at indoor air quality (IAQ) levels. The degradation efficiency of all target compounds increased as the stream flow rate (SFR) decreased. For most target compounds, a reactor with a lower hydraulic diameter (HD) exhibited elevated degradation efficiency. The result on humidity effect suggested that the N-doped photocatalyst could be employed effectively to remove four target compounds (ethyl benzene, o,m,p-xylenes) under conditions of less humidified environments, including a typical indoor comfort range (50-60%). Consequently, it is suggested that with appropriate photocatalytic conditions, a visible-light-assisted N-doped photocatalytic system is clearly an important tool for improving IAQ.     

Fabrication of TiO2/Ti electrode by laser-assisted anodic oxidation and its application on photoelectrocatalytic degradation of methylene blue

A TiO2/Ti mesh electrode by laser calcination was prepared in this article. The resulting TiO2 film was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and it illuminated that the prepared electrode mainly consisted of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles on its surface and exhibited a superior photocatalytic activity. The photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) using the proposed electrode under different experimental conditions was investigated in terms of both UV absorbance at 664 nm and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. The electrical bias applied in photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation was also studied. The experimental results showed that under the optimal potential of +0.50 V (versus SCE), UV absorbance and COD removal during the photodegradation of MB by the proposed TiO2/Ti mesh electrode were 97.3% and 87.0%, respectively. Through the comparison between photocatalytic (PC) oxidation and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation, it was found that PEC oxidation was a convenient and effective way to mineralize the organic matters and that laser-treated photoelectrode exceeded the oven-treated one.
