机械法制备纳米二氧化钛粉体及其光学性能

用一种高能搅拌磨研磨锐钛矿型TiO2粉体,用氮气吸附法测量不同研磨时间TiO2粉体的比表面积,用声发射粒度仪和扫描电镜测量和观察了颗粒的粒径和形貌.结果表明:经研磨7h得到的TiO2粉体的平均粒径为50nm,比表面积大于70m2/g.经X射线衍射仪测试表明:研磨后TiO2粉体的晶型发生变化,随着研磨时间增加,TiO2结晶度会明显降低.另外,用分光光度计测量了甲基橙在TiO2光催化前后的吸光率,用紫外吸收光谱仪测量了TiO2在研磨前后的紫外漫反射吸收光谱,从而表征了TiO2粉体的光学性能.机械法制备的纳米TiO2粉体在紫外线的照射下能够产生光催化作用,并且具有吸收紫外线的能力.

MECHANICAL PREPARATION OF NANO TITANIUM DIOXIDE POWDER AND ITS OPTICAL PROPERTIES

A mechanical preparation of the nano-sized particles of TiO2 powder by a stirred bead mill was investigated. The particle sizes of the ground products were determined by the acoustic particle sizer, the nitrogen gas adsorption method and a scanning electron microscopy. The diameter of the nano-sized particles, which were obtained after milling for 7 h, is about 50 nm and the specific surface area is up to 70 m^2/g. The surface and structure of the samples have been investigated with X-ray diffraction. It is indicated that an intense comminution in the mill leads to a progressive loss in crystallinity of TiO2. The catalytic degradation of methyl orange in water was also studied by a photometer. The results show that the nano-sized particles of TiO2 powder prepared by milling possess photocatalysis effect and are capable of absorption of ultraviolet radiation.
