TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2磁性光催化剂的制备与表征

 A γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 composite was prepared by sol-gel method followed by calcination at 700 ℃ for 30 min starting from tetraethoxysilane and iron nitrate. Upon further coating with SiO2 and TiO2, a TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 magnetic photocatalyst was obtained. XRD results show that Fe in the composite converts to the γ-Fe2O3 phase up to a processing temperature of 700 ℃, and further increase in temperature results in the formation of the α-Fe2O3 phase. The TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 samples obtained are monodisperse spherical particles with 200～250 nm diameter, well coated firstly by an amorphous SiO2 layer and then by an anatase TiO2 layer. The TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 particles retain their magnetic property well and show high activity for the photocatalytic degradation of salicylhydroxamic acid.
