Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of maleic acid by Fe(III) adsorption onto the TiO2 surface

The role of Fe(III) on the TiO₂-assisted photocatalytic degradation of maleic acid has been investigated. The study on the kinetics of the removal of organic matter, as well as the identification of all the stable mineralization intermediates, demonstrates that the presence of Fe(III), adsorbed onto the TiO₂ surface, renders a more efficient process through a cleaner mineralization pathway compared to bare TiO₂. Furthermore, the behaviour of the system does not depend on the iron source. On the other hand, the study of the Fe(III) influence on the interaction of maleic acid with TiO₂ in the solid phase, by means of ATR–FT-IR technique, has been performed. From all the reported results, it is concluded that the Fe(III) effects are mainly due to surface phenomena. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is interpreted under different perspectives, including adsorbed Fe–maleic complexes, enhanced adsorption of oxygen and lower geminate recombination yields.     

The influence of Fe(III) speciation on supported TiO2 efficiency: example of monuron photocatalytic degradation

The degradation of herbicide monuron (initial concentration 5×10⁻⁵ M) in plate photoreactor with laminar flow of the solution using heterogeneous (TiO₂) and/or homogeneous photocatalyst (Fe(ClO₄)₃) was investigated. For the rate of photoinduced degradation with Fe(III) aquacomplexes, the initial concentration of monomer Fe(OH)²⁺, which is the most photocatalytically active form of Fe(III), is crucial. The degradation rate for combination of both photocatalysts is higher than the sum of the rates for separately taken single catalysts. This is caused not only by the addition of the two effects but also by the fact that Fe(III) acts as scavanger of electrons photogenerated in TiO₂ particles thus let down hole–electron recombination. Fe(OH)²⁺ appears to be the most photoactive trap for electrons.     

2. Sensitized degradation of chlorophenols on iron oxides induced by visible light: Comparison with titanium oxide

The sensitized photocatalytic degradation of mono-, di- and trichlorophenols on iron oxides aqueous suspensions of -Fe₂O₃ and -FeOOH is reported in detail. The degradation of these compounds followed pseudo-first-order kinetics when -Fe₂O₃ was used as photocatalyst. -FeOOH was found to be inactive for chlorophenols degradation with the exception of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) where a modest effect was observed. The formation of a surface complex by the chlorophenols with the iron oxide and the solubility of the particular chlorophenol in aqueous solution were observed to be the controlling parameters during the photodegradation. The results obtained with the most active catalyst -Fe₂O₃ are compared with TiO₂. Total mineralization of chlorophenols was observed on TiO₂ while on -Fe₂O₃ only partial mineralization was observed. In either case, the intermediates produced in solution during the photodegradation were found to be significantly more biodegradable than the initial compound. For mono-, di- and trichlorophenols the overall photocatalytic degradation was observed to increase in the order: 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP)<2,3-dichlorophenol (2,3-DCP)<2-chlorophenol (2-CP)<2,4-DCP. The former sequence shows that the recalcitrant 2,4-DCP degrades more rapidly than other chlorophenols tested during this study. The photodegradation of chlorophenols on -Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ proceeds mechanistically through para-hydroxylation of the initial compound as suggested by the intermediates found by high-pressure liquid chromatography HPLC during the course of the degradation.     

Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of the cationic surfactant dodecylpyridinum chloride

The photodegradation has been studied of the cationic surfactant N-dodecylpyridinum chloride (N-DPCl) in aqueous heterogeneous dispersions of semiconducting catalyst particles (TiO₂, TiO₂/Pt and ZnO). The photooxidation was followed by UV spectrophotometry and surface tension measurements. The photodegradation approximates first order kinetics and is discussed on the basis of a simple phenomenological model. The degradation rate is almost identical for TiO₂ and ZnO and higher than that for TiO₂/Pt. A high mineralization yield is obtained from measurements of CO₂ evolution, while an increase in the surface tension is observed. Pyridinum ring breakage, which is known to proceed with difficulty, is also indicated by the presence of NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions.     

Enhancement of photoinduced hydrogen production from irradiated Pt/TiO2 suspensions with simultaneous degradation of azo-dyes

The production of hydrogen from aqueous Pt/TiO₂ suspensions illuminated with UV–vis light has been examined in the absence and in presence of azo-dyes in solution. The effects of operational variables, including dye concentration, solution pH and temperature, on the rate of hydrogen production were investigated. It has been found that deposition of Pt (0.5 wt.%) on the semiconductor surface results in an increase of the H₂ production rate, which goes through a maximum with time of irradiation and then drops to steady-state values comparable to those obtained over bare TiO₂. Both, maximum and steady-state rates obtained over Pt/TiO₂ suspensions were found to increase with increasing solution pH and temperature. Addition of small quantities of azo-dyes in solution results in significantly enhanced rates of H₂ production for a period which depends on dye concentration, solution pH and, to a lesser extent, solution temperature. It is proposed that the dye acts as a scavenger of photogenerated oxidizing species while it is degraded toward CO₂ and inorganic ions. When complete mineralization is achieved, oxygen can no longer be removed from the photocatalyst surface and the rate drops to steady-state values, comparable to those obtained in the absence of azo-dye in solution. The amount of additional H₂ produced is directly proportional to the amount of dye added in the solution. The rate increases with increasing solution pH, where dye degradation is faster, indicating that the process is limited by the rate of consumption of photogenerated oxygen. It is concluded that, under certain experimental conditions, it is possible to obtain significantly enhanced rates of photoinduced hydrogen production from Pt/TiO₂ suspensions with simultaneous mineralization of azo-dyes. The process could be used for combined production of fuel H₂ and degradation of organic pollutants present in water.     

Photocatalytic degradation of short-chain organic diacids

The heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation of fumaric, maleic and oxalic acids over TiO₂ has been investigated. For aqueous suspensions at pH lower than the point of zero charge (pzc) of TiO₂, the photocatalytic degradation of the three studied diacids follows the Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model, with the rate constant of the process decreasing in the order oxalic acid>maleic acidfumaric acid. At these low pH media, the adsorption of the organic diacids onto TiO₂ particles is a key feature for their degradation, which is initiated by a photo-Kolbe process. For fumaric and maleic acids, a cis–trans isomerisation induced by the interaction between adsorbed molecule and semiconductor surface occurs. At pH’s higher than the pzc of TiO₂ the rate of oxalic acid oxidation decreases noticeably, while fumaric and maleic acids are both efficiently degraded in homogeneous phase by reacting with OH√ radicals photochemically generated on the TiO₂ surface, giving rise to a significant increment of both isomers degradation rate with increasing pH. At these pH’s higher than the pzc of the TiO₂, the three studied diacids show a very low degree of adsorption onto the semiconductor surface and no evidence of cis–trans isomerisation for both maleic and fumaric acids is detected. In accordance with the observed pH effects on degradation rate and over detected intermediates, a different mineralisation pathway is proposed as function of initial pH.     

Kinetics of dye decolorization in an air–solid system

The photocatalytic decolorization of adsorbed organic dyes (Acid Blue 9, Acid Orange 7, Reactive Black 5 and Reactive Blue 19) in air was examined, applicable to self-cleaning surfaces and catalyst characterization. Dye-coated Degussa P25 titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and dye-coated photo-inert aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) particles, both of sub-monolayer initial dye coverage, were illuminated with 1.3 mW cm⁻² of near-UV light. Visual evidence of color removal is reported with photographic images. Two methods, Indirect and Direct Analysis, were employed to quantitatively examine the decolorization kinetics of dyes using UV–visible transmission and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, respectively. A decrease in dye concentration with time was observed with near-UV illumination of dye-coated TiO₂ powders for all dyes. Dyes did not photodegrade significantly on photo-inert Al₂O₃.

UV–visible spectroscopy data was used to model the kinetics of the photocatalytic degradation. Two first-order reactions in series provided the most convincing rate form for the photodegradation of dyes adsorbed to TiO₂, with a first step the conversion of colored dye to colored intermediate, and the second the conversion to colorless product(s). The first rate constant was of similar magnitude for all dyes, averaging k₁ = 0.13 min⁻¹. Similarly, for the second, k₂ = 0.0014 min⁻¹.     

Photocatalytic oxidation of methyl parathion over TiO2 and ZnO suspensions

The photocatalytic degradation of methyl parathion in aqueous solutions, using two different photocatalysts (TiO₂ and ZnO) has been investigated. The degradation of methyl parathion follows first order kinetics according to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. Complete degradation is achieved within 45 or 150 min when treated with illuminated TiO₂ or ZnO, respectively. It was observed that the initial rate increases linearly with an increase of the amount of catalyst up to a level where it reaches a plateau corresponding to the optimum of light absorption. The addition of an oxidant (K₂S₂O₈) leads to an increase in the rate of photooxidation. Moreover, illuminated TiO₂ suspensions were proved to be more effective in mineralizing the insecticide compared to ZnO suspensions. Measurements of phosphate, sulfate and nitrate ions gave valuable information about how this process is achieved. Addition of the oxidant enhances mineralization for both photocatalytic systems. Up to eight by-products were identified by GC–MS technique during the photocatalytic degradation of the insecticide that proceeds via oxidation, hydroxylation, dealkylation and hydrolysis of the ester group reaction pathways. Finally, the toxicity of the treated solution was reduced only in the presence of TiO₂, while ZnO suspensions appear to increase the toxicity due to photo-dissolution of ZnO releasing zinc in the treated solution.

Effect of silver on the photocatalytic degradation of humic acid

In this study, humic acid was mineralized and degraded photocatalytically in presence of bare TiO₂ and silver loaded TiO₂ (0.5–5.0 at.% Ag). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and inductive coupled plasma (ICP) analysis confirm the complete photodeposition of silver over TiO₂ by photodeposition method. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) studies confirmed the presence of Ag⁰ in all Ag–TiO₂ samples and the absence of Ag⁺ ions. Silver loading over TiO₂ improved the rate of mineralization and degradation of humic acid with a maximum loading of 1.0 at.% Ag. Ninety percent carbon from humic acid was mineralized to CO₂ only after 60 min by using bare TiO₂ as a photocatalyst. However, this conversion was possible within 40 min by using 1.0 at.% Ag-loaded TiO₂. This observation verifies that coating of metals like silver over TiO₂ acts as an electron sink and can improve the redox reaction by preventing electron–hole recombination reaction. The optimum 1.0 at.% Ag loading in the current work is indicative that the blocking of the TiO₂ surface active sites by silver also plays an important role in the photocatalytic mineralization and degradation of humic acid. As the silver loading is increased, less number of active site are available over the surface of photocatalyst TiO₂ for redox reaction. This finding was supported by the TEM analysis of the photocatalyst samples.     

Titanium dioxide-mediated photocatalysed degradation of few selected organic pollutants in aqueous suspensions

The photocatalytic degradation of maleic hydrazide (1), propham (2), tebuthiuron (3), propachlor (4), chlortoluron (5), thiram (6), phenoxyacetic acid (7), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (8), 4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid (9), uracil (10), 5-bromouracil (11) and bromothymol blue (12) have been investigated in aqueous suspensions of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) under a variety of conditions. The degradation was studied by monitoring the change in substrate concentration employing UV spectroscopic analysis technique and depletion in total organic carbon (TOC) content as a function of irradiation time. The degradation kinetics of the compounds were investigated under different conditions, such as types of TiO₂, pH, catalyst concentration, substrate concentration, temperature and in the presence of different electron acceptors, such as hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), potassium persulphate (K₂S₂O₈), ammonium persulphate (NH₄)₂S₂O₈ and potassium bromate (KBrO₃) besides molecular oxygen. TiO₂ Degussa P25 was found to be more efficient photocatalyst for the degradation of the model compounds as compared with other photocatalysts. The degradation products were analysed using GC/MS analysis technique and probable pathways for the formation of different products have been proposed.     

Structure and photocatalytic performance of TiO2/clay nanocomposites for the degradation of dimethachlor

In the present study TiO₂/clay composites were synthesized by dispersion of TiO₂ on the surfaces of a natural montmorillonite and a synthetic hectorite in order to increase the sorption ability of TiO₂ and therefore its photocatalytic action. Six materials with different loading in TiO₂ (15, 30 and 55 wt%) were prepared and characterized by several analytical techniques including XRD, BET and SEM analysis. The synthetic procedure allows the development of delaminated layers for hectorite–TiO₂ samples, while in the case of montmorillonite–TiO₂ composites we have the formation of a more lamellar-like aggregation. It was found that, the greater the percentage of TiO₂, the greater the pore volume and the specific surface area of the montmorillonite–TiO₂ samples. On the contrary, in the case of hectorite–TiO₂ samples, as the content of TiO₂ increases, the surface area and pore volume decreases. The photocatalytic efficiency of the nanocomposite catalysts was evaluated using a chloroacetanilide herbicide (dimethachlor) in water as model compound. The primary degradation of dimethachlor followed pseudo-first-order kinetics according to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. All supported catalysts exhibit good photodegradation efficiency and their overall removal efficiency per mass of TiO₂ was better than that of bare TiO₂ produced by the sol–gel method. In conclusion, together with their good sedimentation ability the composite materials could be considered as a promising alternative for the removal of organic water contaminants.

New industrial titania photocatalysts for the solar detoxification of water containing various pollutants

A new series of titania industrial photocatalysts have been elaborated by Millennium Inorganic Chemicals and were denoted Millennium-PC/10, PC/25 and PC/50 with respective specific surface areas equal to 11, 23 and 43 m² g⁻¹. Their photocatalytic activities have been determined and compared in the solar pilot CPC-photoreactor at the Plataforma Solar de Almeria (PSA) (Spain) in the photocatalytic degradation of four different representative pollutants (4-chlorophenol, nitrobenzene, 2-chlorobenzoic acid and hydrobutanedioic (malic) acid), whose degradation pathways had previously been elucidated in laboratory experiments with artificial light, using titania Degussa P-25 as a reference photocatalyst. The study concerned the influence of (i) the nature of organic pollutants, (ii) the surface area and (iii) the concentration of suspended TiO₂. The affinity of the pollutants for TiO₂ and the presence of heteroatoms in the reactant molecules intervened on the activities of Millennium-PCs when compared to Degussa P-25. The higher the affinity of the organic pollutants for titania, the higher the efficiency of Millennium-PC/10 photocatalyst calibrated on the initial rate of pollutant disappearance. The degradation pathways were found similar for both photocatalysts and the primary steps of the degradation for the different types of molecules were discussed.

4-Chlorophenol (4-CP), a model pollutant for waste waters, was then chosen for the study of the influence of the surface areas and of the concentration of Millennium-PC photocatalysts. The initial apparent rate constants of 4-CP degradation in presence of all Millennium-PC catalysts were all higher than that obtained with Degussa P-25. When choosing the total organic carbon (TOC) disappearance rate as an overall kinetic parameter, Millennium-PC/10 and PC/25 appeared as less active than Degussa P-25, with longer solar exposures (by about 10%) necessary to obtain a total mineralisation. However, Millennium-PC/50 resulted as the best catalyst in all cases. The optimal slurry concentration (g l⁻¹) has been determined for each Millennium TiO₂ sample.

While the optimum of Degussa P-25 had previously been found equal to 0.2 g l⁻¹, higher amounts of Millennium-PC samples were required. A twice higher concentration (0.4 g l⁻¹) increased the activities by factors equal to 1.2 and 1.5 for Millennium-PC/50 and PC/10, respectively. The rate constants of disappearance of intermediates and of TOC were quantitatively affected by factors in agreement with a multiple consecutive reactions model. In any case, titania Millennium-PC/50 appeared as the best catalyst among all those tested, including Degussa P-25.

Photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants with simultaneous production of hydrogen

The photocatalytic degradation of a number of organic compounds in solution, including alcohols and organic acids, has been investigated under unaerated conditions with the use of Pt/TiO₂ photocatalyst and solar or UV irradiation. It has been found that production of CO₂ is in all cases accompanied by evolution of hydrogen, the production rate of which is significantly enhanced, compared with that obtained in the absence of organic additives in solution. Results are explained by considering that organic compounds act as sacrificial electron donors, which become progressively oxidized toward CO₂ by consuming photogenerated holes and/or oxygen. This results in decreased rates of electron–hole recombination and oxygen–hydrogen back reaction and, concomitantly, in increased H₂-production rates. The rate of photoinduced hydrogen production depends strongly on the concentration of the sacrificial agent employed and to a lesser extent on solution pH and temperature. When complete mineralization of the sacrificial agent is achieved, photogenerated oxygen can no longer be removed from the photocatalyst surface and the H₂-production rate drops to steady-state values, comparable to those obtained in the absence of the organic compound in solution. The amounts of carbon dioxide and “additional” hydrogen produced depend on the nature of the organic additive and are directly proportional to its initial concentration in solution. Quantification of results shows that the overall process may be described as “photoinduced reforming of organic compounds at room temperature”. It is concluded that mineralization of organic pollutants such as alcohols and organic acids, which are common waste products of biomass processing industries, can be achieved with simultaneous production of H₂ fuel. The process may provide an efficient and cost effective method for cleaning up waste streams.     

Bi2MoO6@CQDs/TiO2纳米管阵列的制备与光电催化性能

为提高TiO₂的可见光光电催化活性,本文用Bi₂MoO₆和碳量子点(CQDs)对TiO₂纳米管阵列(TNA)进行了改性。以CQDs、Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O和Na₂MoO₄为原料,通过简单的溶剂热法,在TNA中沉积了CQDs和Bi₂MoO₆,成功制备了新型Bi₂MoO₆@CQDs/TNA。扫描电镜(SEM)和元素mapping分析结果表明,CQDs和Bi₂MoO₆成功涂覆在TNA管壁上。通过在可见光下降解甲基橙(MO)溶液,评价了所制备的光催化剂的光电催化性能。结果显示,经3 h的光电催化降解,Bi₂MoO₆@CQDs/TNA对MO的去除率比Bi₂MoO₆/TNA高32%。CQDs优异的上转换光致发光(UCPL)性能促进了TiO₂在可见光下被激发产生光生载流子,同时Bi₂MoO₆与TiO₂的耦合抑制了光生载流子的复合,从而提高了Bi₂MoO₆@CQDs/TNA的光电催化活性。     

Photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds in aqueous systems by transition metal doped polycrystalline TiO2

Some probe catalytic photooxidation reactions with aliphatic and aromatic organic compounds having different acid strengths, i.e. methanoic acid, ethanoic acid, benzoic acid and 4-nitrophenol, were carried out in aqueous systems by using polycrystalline TiO₂ powders doped with various transition metal ions (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mo, V and W). The Co-doped powder showed to be more photoactive than the bare TiO₂ for methanoic acid degradation while the behaviour of TiO₂/Cu and TiO₂/Fe was similar to that of the support. TiO₂/W was the most efficient sample for the photodegradation of benzoic acid and 4-nitrophenol, TiO₂ the most active powder for ethanoic acid. A tentative explanation is provided by taking into account: (i) the dissociation constants (K_a) of the different acids used as substrates; (ii) their aliphatic or aromatic nature; (iii) the points of zero charge (PZC) of the photocatalysts; (iv) their relative rate constants for photoelectron–hole recombination (k_r) determined by femtosecond pump-probe diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.     

H2O2强化光催化处理苯胺化工废水的应用试验

研究者在苯胺模拟废水高级氧化处理方面开展了很多研究,但针对炼化企业苯胺装置废水含盐高、色度高、COD降解难等问题尚未开展工程应用。为解决苯胺生产废水的实际问题,本研究开展了TiO₂/UV-H₂O₂氧化降解苯胺废水（1~2m³/h）的现场试验研究。考察了苯胺废水在单独TiO₂/UV、单独H₂O₂氧化及TiO₂/UV-H₂O₂协同作用下的处理效果,提出了苯胺废水的最佳处理工艺方案,并进行了成本核算。结果表明,单独TiO₂/UV和单独H₂O₂氧化对苯胺废水的脱色率和COD去除率偏低,而TiO₂/UV-H₂O₂协同作用时苯胺废水脱色率和COD去除率可达95%以上。协同氧化体系中,H₂O₂的氧化降解作用显著,H₂O₂投加量1%~2%;酸性条件利于苯胺废水的降解,特别是pH=3.8~4.2时;TiO₂/UV和H₂O₂协同作用一段时间后,停止UV而凭借残余H₂O₂可以将体系中的中间产物继续降解直至矿化成CO₂。TiO₂/UV- H₂O₂协同处理炼化企业苯胺生产废水,出水COD≤60mg/L,色度≤20倍,单位能耗约18.44kW·h/m³,明显低于文献报道值,具有显著的技术性与经济性。
