Photocatalytic degradation of high ammonia concentration water solutions by TiO2

Recent studies reported the use of suspended TiO2 powder as photo catalyst in the degradation process of several organic and inorganic substances in water, like chlorinated hydrocarbons, alkyl- and alkanoloammines and ammonia. In order to evaluate the possibility of using this method for a further removal of ammonia from wastewater after a biological nitrification/denitrification treatment, a kinetic study of photo oxidation over TiO2 of NH3/NH4 in the high concentration range of 26 - 214 mg/I, has been carried out. Effects of pH, TiO2, ammonium and dissolved O2 concentration on the degradation efficiency and reaction products distribution (NO2-, NO3- e N2) were studied. The results have shown that, at a catalyst concentration of 0.012% (p/v), the photo catalytic oxidation of ammonia can be described with the Langumuir- Hinshelwood kinetic model, as reported by several authors.     

WO3对MnOx/TiO2低温脱硝SCR催化剂的改性研究

以醋酸锰为前驱物通过浸渍法制备了MnO_x/TiO₂催化剂,用WO₃对载体进行改性制得一系列MnO_x-WO₃/ TiO₂催化剂,采用X射线衍射（XRD）、比表面积测定(BET)、拉曼光谱(LRS)、原位红外(FT-IR)光谱等表征技术进行相关的微观表征分析,同时在模拟氨气选择性催化还原NO_x（NH₃-SCR）的反应条件下对催化剂的脱硝反应活性进行了考察。研究表明,添加5%的WO₃拓展了载体的比表面积,提高了催化剂的抗热性,增加了催化剂表面的Brnsted酸位,拓宽其选择性催化还原脱硝活性温度窗口,对MnO_x/TiO₂催化剂有很好的改性作用;先钨后锰的负载顺序优于先锰后钨;随着温度的升高,化学催化反应速率提高,催化剂表面NH₃吸附峰呈减弱或消失趋势,故催化剂脱硝活性温度曲线呈中间高、两头低。     

关于新型蜂窝状筛网催化剂的研究——制备方法和催化性能

氨法选择性还原氮氧化物 V2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂的抗硫性能

选择性催化还原(SCR)是目前去除氮氧化物最有效的方法之一. V2O5/TiO2催化剂被广泛应用于氨法选择性还原氮氧化物(NH3-SCR)反应,但该催化剂存在工作温度高(300–400oC)及 SO2氧化率高引起设备腐蚀和管路堵塞等问题,开发低温 SCR催化剂具有重要意义.过渡金属氧化物(如 Fe2O3, MnOx和 CuO等)催化剂用于低温SCR先后见诸文献报道,但这些催化剂在 SO2和 H2O存在下易失活.近年来柱撑黏土(PILC)引起科学家广泛关注, Yang等首次将 V2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂应用于 NH3-SCR反应,发现其催化活性高于传统 V2O5/TiO2催化剂.柱撑黏土基催化剂在 NH3-SCR反应中也显示出良好抗硫性能,但 V2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂的抗硫机理至今尚未见深入研究.因此我们制备了一系列 V2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂,采用原位漫反射红外等方法详细研究了其抗硫性能较好的原因.
　　首先采用离子交换法制备出 TiO2-PILC载体,之后采用浸渍法制备了不同钒含量(质量分数x/%=0,3,4,5)的xV2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂.同时,制备了传统 V2O5/TiO2和 V2O5-MoO3/TiO2催化剂作为对比.活性评价结果显示,4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂具有最高的催化活性,其催化性能与传统钒钛催化剂相当.在160oC时, NO转化率可达80%以上.同时,4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂还具有较宽的反应温度窗口,在260–500oC范围内, NO转化率保持在90%以上.向反应体系中加入0.05% SO2和10% H2O后,在低温(160oC以下)时所有催化剂的反应活性都有一定提高,可能是由于 SO2的加入提高了催化剂的表面酸性.继续升高温度,4V/TiO2和4V6Mo/TiO2催化剂活性均明显下降,而4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂的活性则未出现明显下降.原位漫反射红外光谱结果显示, SO2在三种催化剂表面的吸附以表面硫酸盐或亚硫酸盐物种以及离子态 SO42–物种形式存在,而在4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂表面离子态 SO42–物种的量最少. X射线光电子能谱及 O2程序升温脱附结果显示,在4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂上,表面吸附氧(Oads)的量最少.综合上述分析可以得出,在 SO2气氛下,离子态 SO42–物种在 SCR催化剂表面的累积可能是导致其失活的主要原因,而离子态 SO42–物种的形成可能与催化剂表面吸附氧的量有关.     

Kinetic and mechanistic investigations of multielectron transfer reactions induced by stored electrons in TiO2 nanoparticles: a stopped flow study

The kinetics and the mechanism of various multielectron transfer reactions initiated by stored electrons in TiO(2) nanoparticles have been investigated employing the stopped flow technique. Moreover, the optical properties of the stored electrons in the TiO(2) nanoparticles have been studied in detail following the UV (A) photolysis of deaerated aqueous suspensions of TiO(2) nanoparticles in the presence of methanol. The reduction of common electron acceptors that are often present in photocatalytic systems such as O(2), H(2)O(2), and NO(3)(-) has been investigated. The experimental results clearly show that the stored electrons reduce O(2) and H(2)O(2) to water by multielectron transfer processes. Moreover, NO(3)(-) is reduced via the transfer of eight electrons evincing the formation of ammonia. On the other hand, the reduction of toxic metal ions, such as Cu(II), has been studied mixing their respective anoxic aqueous solutions with those containing the electrons stored in the TiO(2) particles. A two-electron transfer is found to occur, indicating the reduction of the copper metal ion into its non toxic metallic form. Other metal ions, such as Zn(II) and Mn(II), could not be reduced by TiO(2) electrons, which is readily explained on the bases of their respective redox potentials. The underlying reaction mechanisms are discussed in detail.

Artificial photochemical nitrogen cycle to produce nitrogen and hydrogen from ammonia by platinized TiO2 and its application to a photofuel cell

Photochemical artificial nitrogen cycle was reported to produce dinitrogen and dihydrogen by photodecomposing ammonia with platinized TiO2, and its application to a photofuel cell with a nanoporous TiO2 film electrode, a new concept of a fuel cell to photochemically produce electricity and H2 from ammonia, was proposed.     

Highly selective ammonia synthesis from nitrate with photocatalytically generated hydrogen on CuPd/TiO2

Body-centered-cubic type CuPd nanoalloys were synthesized by a chemical reduction method. Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and nitrate reduction were simultaneously examined over CuPd nanoalloys deposited on TiO(2) (CuPd/TiO(2)). The efficiency of hydrogen evolution over CuPd/TiO(2) was better than that over Pd/TiO(2). As for nitrate reduction, ammonia was selectively (78%) produced with hydrogen generated photocatalytically over CuPd/TiO(2). The continuous generation of nascent hydrogen atoms on the surface of the CuPd nanoalloy, where Cu and Pd are homogeneously mixed, led to the high selectivity for ammonia.

Chemistry of NO2 on oxide surfaces: formation of NO3 on TiO2(110) and NO2<-->O vacancy interactions

Synchrotron-based high-resolution photoemission, X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy, and first-principles density functional (DF) slab calculations were used to study the interaction of NO(2) with a TiO(2)(110) single crystal and powders of titania. The main product of the adsorption of NO(2) on TiO(2)(110) is surface nitrate with a small amount of chemisorbed NO(2). A similar result is obtained after the reaction of NO(2) with polycrystalline powders of TiO(2) or other oxide powders. This trend, however, does not imply that the metal centers of the oxides are unreactive toward NO(2). An unexpected mechanism is seen for the formation of NO(3). Photoemission data and DF calculations indicate that the surface nitrate forms through the disproportionation of NO(2) on Ti sites (2NO(2,ads) --> NO(3,ads) + NO(gas)) rather than direct adsorption of NO(2) on O centers of titania. Complex interactions take place between NO(2) and O vacancies of TiO(2)(110). Electronic states associated with O vacancies play a predominant role in the bonding and surface chemistry of NO(2). The adsorbed NO(2), on its part, affects the thermochemical stability of O vacancies, facilitating their migration from the bulk to the surface of titania. The behavior of the NO(2)/titania system illustrates the importance of surface and subsurface defects when using an oxide for trapping or destroying NO(x)() species in the prevention of environmental pollution (DeNOx operations).

缺陷TiO2(110)表面吸附NO从头算研究

应用量子化学从头算方法对ＮＯ在ＴｉＯ２表面发生吸附的四种吸附模型进行了榴型优化，能量计算及Ｍｕｌｌｉｋｅｎ布居分析。计算结果表明，吸附模型Ｍ２－２是ＮＯ在ＴｉＯ２表面发生吸附分解最为有利的模型。据此提出了ＮＯ在ＴｉＯ２表面吸附分解形成Ｎ２Ｏ的可能机理，认为吸附ＮＯ发生该分解反应的反应势垒较自由ＮＯ大大降低，从而催化该反应的发生。该机理与实验的推测一致。     

Photocatalytic disproportionation of nitrite to dinitrogen and nitrate in an aqueous suspension of metal-loaded titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles

Photocatalytic reaction of a nitrite ion in aqueous suspensions of bare and metal-loaded TiO(2) particles was examined without electron and hole scavengers under irradiation of UV light. In the bare TiO(2) system, disproportionation of NO(2)(-) to N(2) (or N(2)O) and NO(3)(-) with nitrogen balance (NB) and redox balance (ROB) close to unity within experimental errors was observed, although the reaction was slow. Palladium (Pd)-loaded TiO(2) particles exhibited an extraordinarily large rate of disproportionation of NO(2)(-) in their aqueous suspension, i.e. NO(2)(-) was almost completely converted to N(2) (or N(2)O) and NO(3)(-) even after only 3 h of photoirradiation, both the values of NB and ROB being close to unity. This result suggests that Pd loaded on TiO(2) particles acted as storage sites for photogenerated electrons and effectively transferred the electrons to NO(2)(-) and, therefore, that the reduction process in the photocatalytic disproportionation of NO(2)(-) was accelerated by Pd loaded on TiO(2). Effects of the amount of Pd and pH of the suspension on the reaction rate were also examined.

Effects of Carrier on CuO／TiO2 and CuO／Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 Catalysts in the NO＋CO Reaction

Using TiO2 and Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 as carriers, the CuO/TiO2 and CuO/Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method with Cu(NO3)2 as active component. The catalytic activities in NO CO reaction were investigated using a microreactor-GC system, and structure and reducibility of catalysts were characterized by means of physical adsorption, TPR, XRD, NO-TPD technologies. It was found that the activity of CuO/Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 catalyst was higher than that of CuO/TiO2, probably due to the large specific surface area of Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 that played an important role in NO CO reaction.
