Sol-gel preparation of Fe-doped mixed crystal TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> powder and its photocatalytic activity for degradation of azo fuchsine under visible light irradiation

In this work, the Fe-doped mixed crystal TiO₂ photocatalyst which can utilize visible light was prepared by sol-gel and heat-treated methods. During heat-treatment, the phase transformation of Fe-doped TiO₂ powder occurs and the process is characterized by XRD and TG-DTA technologies. Otherwise, the sizes and shapes of Fe-doped and undoped TiO₂ powders were also compared using TEM images. The azo fuchsine in aqueous solutions, as a model compound, was treated under visible light irradiation using Fe-doped mixed crystal TiO₂ powders as photocatalyst. The results showed that, under visible light irradiation, the (0.25%) Fe-doped mixed crystal TiO₂ powder heat-treated at 600°C for 3.0 h behaved very high photocatalytic activities for degradation of azo fuchsine. The remarkable improvement of the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ powder was elucidated through the cooperative effects of iron doping and phase transformation. The iron doping can restrain the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and the phase transformation can enhance the absorption of visible light. Furthermore, other influence factors such as azo fuchsine concentration, solution acidity, Fe3+ ion content and irradiation time were also studied. Thus, this method is applicable for the treatment of wastewater.     

Photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes by Er<Superscript>3+</Superscript>: YAlO<Subscript>3</Subscript>/Co- and Fe-doped ZnO coated composites under solar irradiation

In this work, the Er³⁺: YAlO₃/Co- and Fe-doped ZnO coated composites were prepared by the sol-gel method. Then, they were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Photo-degradation of azo fuchsine (AF) as a model dye under solar light irradiation was studied to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the Er³⁺: YAlO₃/Co- and Fe-doped ZnO coated composites. It was found that the photocatalytic activity of Co- and Fe-doped ZnO composites can be obviously enhanced by upconversion luminescence agent (Er³⁺: YAlO₃). Besides, the photocatalytic activity of Er³⁺: YAlO₃/Fe-doped ZnO is better than that of Er³⁺: YAlO₃/Co-doped ZnO. The influence of experiment conditions, such as the concentration of Er³⁺: YAlO₃, heat-treatment temperature and time on the photocatalytic activity of the Er³⁺: YAlO₃/Co- and Fe-doped ZnO coated composites was studied. In addition, the effects of solar light irradiation time, dye initial concentration, Er³⁺: YAlO₃/Co- and Fe-doped ZnO amount on the photocatalytic degradation of azo fuchsine in aqueous solution were investigated in detail. Simultaneously, some other organic dyes, such as Methyl Orange (MO), Rhodamine B (RM-B), Acid Red B (AR-B), Congo Red (CR), and Methyl Blue (MB) were also studied. The possible excitation principle of Er³⁺: YAlO₃/Co- and Fe-doped ZnO coated composites under solar light irradiation and the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of organic dyes were discussed.

Effect of Binder on the Structure and Properties of Silicon Powder-supported TiO_2 Photocatalysis Material

Recoverable TiO2 photocatalysis material supported by silicon powder was prepared with sol-gel method, afterwards the silica gol and sodium silicate were used as molding binder respectively to investigate their effects （including binder type and binder addition quantity） on the crystal structure and catalysis properties of photocatalyst. In this work, the catalysis activity was defined as the degradation rate of methyl orange solution upon ultraviolet lamp irradiation, and the specific areas were determined with nitrogen desorption method. TiO2 crystal form was measured with X-ray powder diffraction and their micro-morphology was observed with SEM. Experimental results indicate that these two binders do not affect the crystal form transformation of TiO2, but silica gol can increase the specific surface area of TiO2 photocatalyst obviously and the addition of sodium silicate can decrease it. In all, silica gol is a better candidate than sodium silicate for higher catalysis property. In conclusion, 6% silica gol is the optimal addition concentration. Under this condition, the ratio of anatase to rutile TiO2 is 64：36, the specific area is 29.67 m^2/g, and as expected, the degradation rate of methyl orange could be as high as 90% after irradiation for 5 days.     

Use of titanium dioxide photocatalysis on the remediation of model textile wastewaters containing azo dyes

The photocatalytic degradation of two commercial textile azo dyes, namely C.I Reactive Black 5 and C.I Reactive Red 239, has been studied. TiO(2) P25 Degussa was used as catalyst and photodegradation was carried out in aqueous solution under artificial irradiation with a 125 W mercury vapor lamp. The effects of the amount of TiO(2) used, UV-light irradiation time, pH of the solution under treatment, initial concentration of the azo dye and addition of different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide were investigated. The effect of the simultaneous photodegradation of the two azo dyes was also investigated and we observed that the degradation rates achieved in mono and bi-component systems were identical. The repeatability of photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst was also tested. After five cycles of TiO(2) reuse the rate of colour lost was still 77% of the initial rate. The degradation was followed monitoring the change of azo dye concentration by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Results show that the use of an efficient photocatalyst and the adequate selection of optimal operational parameters may easily lead to a complete decolorization of the aqueous solutions of both azo dyes.

Under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, the photocatalytic degradation rate of methyl orange solution was used to characterize the photocatalytic activity of the sample. The specific surface area of the sample was tested by N2 desorption method, crystal form of TiO2 was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction, and the microtopography of the sample was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results showed that the acidity of gel precursor could greatly affect the specific surface area and photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst, and the optimum pH value of the precursor was determined as 2.0, and at this time the specific surface area of photocatalyst could reach 34.0 m^2/g. In the sample, the proporticn of anatase to rutile is 7：3, which makes l0 mg·L^-1 methyl orange solution fade after irradiation by 15W ultraviolet light for 24 h, and the degradation rate might be up to 98.1%.

Visible light active platinum-ion-doped TiO2 photocatalyst

Platinum-ion-doped TiO2 (Pt(ion)-TiO2) was synthesized by a sol-gel method, and its visible light photocatalytic activities were successfully demonstrated for the oxidative and reductive degradation of chlorinated organic compounds. Pt(ion)-TiO2 exhibited a yellow-brown color, and its band gap was lower than that of undoped TiO2 by about 0.2 eV. The flat band potential of Pt(ion)-TiO2 was positively shifted by 50 mV compared with that of undoped TiO2. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses showed that the Pt ions substituted in the TiO2 lattice were present mainly in the Pt(IV) state with some Pt(II) on the sample surface. Pt(ion)-TiO2 exhibited higher photocatalytic activities than undoped TiO2 under UV irradiation as well. The visible light activity of Pt(ion)-TiO2 was strongly affected by the calcination temperature and the concentration of Pt ion dopant, which were optimal at 673 K and 0.5 atom %, respectively. Under visible irradiation, Pt(ion)-TiO2 degraded dichloroacetate and 4-chlorophenol through an oxidative path and trichloroacetate via a reductive path. The activity of Pt(ion)-TiO2 was not reduced when used repeatedly under visible light. However, visible-light-illuminated Pt(ion)-TiO2 could not degrade substrates such as tetramethylammonium and trichloroethylene, which are degraded with UV-illuminated TiO2. The characteristics and reactivities of Pt(ion)-TiO2 as a new visible light photocatalyst were investigated in various ways and discussed in detail.

Iron-Doped Titania Nanoparticles for the Photocatalytic Oxidative Degradation of Nitrite

Iron-doped titania nanoparticles exhibit a higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO_2 for the degradation of nitrite. The optimum Fe-doped content in terms of activity is approximately 0.5％. The increase in photoactivity is probably due to the higher adsorption and the inhibition of electron-hole recombination. The photocatalytic oxidation reaction of nitrite over the Fe-doped TiO_2 catalyst follows zero-order kinetics, which is different from that over pure TiO_2. The reaction rate decreases linearly with the increase of the pH of the solution.
