紫外和可见光照射下Fe-TiO2复合材料催化低浓度芳香族有机污染物降解（英文）

Fe‐TiO2 photocatalysts with different ratios of Fe to Ti were prepared by a sol‐gel process using tetra‐n‐butyl titanium and iron(III) nitrate as Ti and Fe sources, respectively. The photocatalytic function of the prepared composites was examined for the decomposition of low‐concentration(0.1 ppm) airborne benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and o‐xylene(BTEX). The Fe‐TiO2 composites were characterized by energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, UV‐visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The time‐series ratios of outlet to inlet concentrations of toluene, ethyl benzene, and o‐xylene target chemicals, as determined by the Fe‐TiO2 composites under visible light exposure, were lower than or similar to those of the reference TiO2 photocatalyst. Moreover, the time‐series ratios of outlet to inlet concentrations of the three compounds, as determined for the Fe‐TiO2 composites, increased as the ratio of Fe to Ti increased from 0.001 to 0.010. In contrast, under UV exposure, the time‐series ratios of outlet to inlet concentrations of BTEX, determined for the Fe‐TiO2 composites, were similar to or higher than those obtained from the reference TiO2 photocatalyst. Fe‐TiO2 composites with an optimal Fe to Ti ratio could effectively be applied for the purification of low‐concentration aromatic organic pollutants.
