Photocatalytic decomposition of tetrachloroethylene in the gas phase with titanium dioxide as catalyst

The gas phase photocatalytic destruction of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) was investigated by using an in situ photocatalytic reactor with FT-IR analysis in batch mode. The main products of PCE degradation are CO₂ and COCl₂, with trichloroacetylchloride as an intermediate. It was found that the rate of PCE degradation and the appearance of products in the gas phase are highly dependent on their adsorption properties on the surface of the catalyst, besides other reaction conditions, such as the intensity of irradiation and the composition of the reaction mixture.     

Regularities of decomposition of organic vapors using a photocatalytic air cleaner

The kinetics of oxidation of vapors of model air contaminators, viz., acetone, ethanol, and heptane, was studied using a photocatalytic air cleaner. The composition of the oxidation products was determined, and the rates of oxidation of the starting substances were measured. The deep oxidation of the starting substrates to CO₂ and H₂O occurs until their concentration achieves a limiting value. At higher concentrations a “breakthrough” of the starting substrate is observed. Ethanol is oxidized with the formation of intermediate products. The experimental data obtained were approximated by a kinetic model, which includes stages of formation of intermediates and their competitive adsorption. The results of the approximation agree well with the experimental data. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1812–1818, August, 2005.     

Effect of silver deposition on tio for photocatalytic oxidation of benzene in the gas phase

Summary Deposition of Ag on TiO₂ surface by photodeposition method improved the photooxidation rate of benzene in air by inhibiting the build-up of intermediate compounds on the catalyst surface. Although the reaction rate decreased with the increase in benzene concentration, the decrement of reaction rate became smaller by Ag deposition. The selectivities to CO₂ and CO were 95 and 5%, respectively, which were almost independent of Ag loading and benzene conversion.

Preparation, characterization and photocatalytic activity of visible light driven chlorine-doped TiO2

A novel chlorine-doped titanium dioxide catalyst with visible light response was prepared by hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate in hydrochloric acid. The catalyst samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). Results showed that the doped element of Cl lowered the temperatures of phase transformation of TiO₂ from amorphous to anatase and from anatase to rutile. The absorption edge of chlorine-doped TiO₂ calcined at 300°C shifted to visible light region. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results proved that chlorine existed in the TiO₂ crystal lattice as anion. The photocatalytic degradation of phenol showed that under visible light (λ > 400 nm) irradiation, the chlorine-doped TiO₂ calcined at 300°C displayed the best performance, the degradation ratio of phenol was 42.5% after 120 min.

Influence of humidity and acidity of the titanium dioxide surface on the kinetics of photocatalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds

The influence of the humidity and acidity of the TiO₂ surface on the kinetics of the photocatalytic processes of deep oxidation of volatile organic compounds was studied. At 20 °C the rates of acetone and benzene oxidation are maximum at the coverages of TiO₂ with water close to monolayer and are 3—5 times higher than that in the dry atmosphere. The activation energy of benzene oxidation (E _a = 6.3±0.4 and 43.0±3.2 kJ mol^–1 at relative humidities of 8 and 70%, respectively) at a humidity higher than 30% decreases according to the exponential law with an increase in the surface acidity when multilayer water films are formed on the surface. Under the real conditions of operation of photocatalytic air purifiers, a TiO₂ particle is covered by water nanofilms. As in aqueous solutions, photoprocesses on the TiO₂ surface depend substantially on the solvation of the participants of the reaction, the formation of the double electric layer, and the concentration of the electrolyte (due to the dissociation of the surface acid-base groups).     

One-step fabrication and high photocatalytic activity of porous TiO2 hollow aggregates by using a low-temperature hydrothermal method without templates

Porous TiO2 hollow aggregates have been synthesized on a large scale by means of a simple hydrothermal method without using any templates. The as-prepared products were characterized by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy, XRD, TEM, nitrogen adsorption, UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the aggregates was demonstrated through the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B. Structural characterization indicates that the porous TiO2 aggregates are 500-800 nm in diameter and display mesoporous structure. The average pore sizes and BET surface areas of the aggregates are 12 nm and 168 m2 g-1, respectively. Optical adsorption investigations show that the aggregates possess an optical band-gap energy of 3.36 eV. The as-prepared products were substantially more effective photocatalysts than the commercially available photocatalyst P25. The dye degradation rate of the porous TiO2 hollow aggregates is more than twice that of P25. The high photoactivities of the aggregates can be attributed to the combined effects of several factors, namely, large surface areas, the existence of mesopores, and the high band-gap energy. In addition, the as-prepared products can be easily recycled.

基于钙黄绿素－臧红T荧光共振能量转移检测六偏磷酸钠

在pH8．5的Tris－HCl缓冲溶液中,钙黄绿素作为能量供体（D）可以与藏红T受体（A）发生有效的荧光共振能量转移（FRET）,但加入六偏磷酸钠（SHMP）后,因其与受体发生静电作用破坏了该能量转移体系,使得荧光供体钙黄绿素荧光强度的增加（△FD）与受体藏红T荧光强度的降低（△FA）的比值（△FD／△R）-9SHMP浓度（csHMP）呈良好的线性关系．基于此,建立了一种检测六偏磷酸盐的新方法．在优化条件下,该方法的检测范围为3．0×10^-6-1．0×10^-5mol／L,对6．0×10拍mol／L的六偏磷酸盐连续平行测定11次,其相对标准偏差（RSD）为3．1％．该方法具有选择性好、操作简单和检测速度快等优点,已成功应用于饮料中六偏磷酸钠的分析检测．

Preparation and photocatalytic activity of TiO2-coated granular activated carbon composites by a molecular adsorption-deposition method

TiO₂ nanoparticle-coated granular activated carbon (GAC) composite photocatalysts (CPs) were successfully prepared by a molecular adsorption-deposition (MAD) method. The CPs were detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), BET surface area and UV-Vis adsorption spectroscopy, and their photoactivity was evaluated by methyl orange (MO) photodegradation. The results show that small-sized TiO₂ nanoparticles were dispersed well, deposited on the surface of GAC, and showed slight blue shift in comparison with pure TiO₂. With the increase in TiO₂ content, the CPs showed band gaps in lower energy, smaller surface areas and the higher content of Ti³⁺ ions. Compared with pure TiO₂ and others CPs samples, CPs-382 sample showed the highest photoactivity due to the optimum TiO₂ content and surface area besides the synergic effect of photocatalytic degradation of TiO₂ and adsorptive property of GAC. In addition, the CPs could be very easily reclaimed, recycled and reused for methyl orange removal while high photoactivity is preserved.
