Photocatalytic Performance of Nano-TiO2/Diatomite Composite

Nano-TiO₂/diatomite composite was synthesized by hydrolysis-deposition method using diatomite as supporter and titanium tetrachloride as precursor. The prepared composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and N₂ adsorption-desorption. The photocatalytic property of composite was determined by Rhodamine B as a target pollutant. The effects of various parameters that affect the photocatalytic properties of composite were studied. The results show that anatase TiO₂ loaded on the surface of diatomite in agglomerate and disperse states. The catalyst dosage, dye solution pH, inorganic ions and illumination intensity could affect the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂/diatomite composite in different degrees. The photocatalytic degradation rate of Rhodamine B was up to 99.8% under the conditions as follows: 10 mg/L initial dye concentration, 1.0 g/L catalyst dosage, 300 W UV light intensity, and 60 min illumination time.
