LED照射光催化剂用于苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯分解(英文)

Studies on the use of gas phase applications of light emitting diodes(LEDs) in photocatalysis are scarce although their photocatalytic decomposition kinetics of environmental pollutants are likely different from those in aqueous solutions.The present study evaluated the use of chips of visible light LEDs to irradiate nitrogen doped titania(N-TiO2) prepared by hydrolysis to decompose gaseous benzene,toluene,ethyl benzene,m-xylene,p-xylene,and o-xylene.Photocatalysts calcined at different temperatures were characterized by various analytical instruments.The degradation efficiency of benzene was close to zero for all conditions.For the other compounds,a conventional 8 W daylight lamp/N-TiO2 unit gave a higher photocatalytic degradation efficiency as compared with that of visible-LED/N-TiO2 units.However,the ratios of degradation efficiency to electric power consumption were higher for the photocatalytic units that used two types of visible-LED lamps(blue and white LEDs).The highest degradation efficiency was observed with the use of a calcination temperature of 350 oC.The average degradation efficiencies for toluene,ethyl benzene,m-xylene,p-xylene,and o-xylene were 35%,68%,94%,and 93%,respectively.The use of blue-and white-LEDs,high light intensity,and low initial concentrations gave high photocatalytic activities for the photocatalytic units using visible-LEDs.The morphological and optical properties of the photocatalysts were correlated to explain the dependence of photocatalytic activity on calcination temperature.The results suggest that visible-LEDs are energy efficient light source for photocatalytic gas phase applications,but the activity depends on the operational conditions.     

Hydrogen bond studies : 79. Correlation curves for properties of hydrogen bonded water molecules based on ab initio calculations

Correlation curves have been derived from previous ab initio MO-LCAO-SCF calculations made on water molecules in hydrates. The OH-stretching frequency shifts have been correlated with: (a) ratios of the intensity of v?v_OH for bonded water to that for free water, (b) shifts in the OH-distances and (c) quadrupole coupling constants for deuterium in D₂O. Shifts in quadrupole coupling constants are also correlated with shifts in OH-distances. Comparisons have been made with experimental data and the agreement is found to be satisfactory.     

An analysis of the influence of vibrations on electric field gradient tensors in solid hydrates

A method is described for calculating the influence of vibrational motion on the electric field gradient tensors at deuterons in solid hydrates using librational tensors. The method is applied to model calculations to illustrate the effect of normal modes which involve a mixture of standard wagging, twisting and rocking modes.     

Near-field scanner for moving molecules

We have fabricated using electron beam nanolithography a fixed slit near-field optical scanning device which uses near-field fluorimetry to achieve 200 nm spatial resolution of objects moving over the slits. We explore the basic physics of operating narrow slits in the waveguide cutoff mode and present data from the passage of extended double-stranded DNA molecules passing over the slits as a first example of how this device can be used to do ultrahigh spatial resolution mapping of long polymers.     

Sorting biomolecules with microdevices

Micro- and nanofabrication techniques have provided an unprecedented opportunity to create a designed world in which separation and fractionation technologies which normally occur on the macroscopic scale can be optimized by designing structures which utilize the basic physics of the process, or new processes can be realized by building structures which normally do not exist without external design. Since microfabrication is exceedingly sophisticated in its development, it is possible to design and construct highly creative microdevices which allow one to probe specific aspects of biological objects. We give examples of uses of micro- and nanofabrication which, as opposed to simply shrinking the size of the vessels or tubes used in macroscopic lab environments, utilize our understanding of the physics of the process to take advantage of fabrication technologies.     

发光二极管用于活性炭负载光催化剂反应器中挥发性有机化合物的降解

The applicability of ultraviolet-light emitting diodes(LEDs)as a light source for photocatalysis using granular activated charcoal (GAC)impregnated with transition metal-enhanced photocatalysts for the control of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)was investigated. Two target compounds(toluene and methyl mercaptan)were selected to evaluate the removal activities of the TiO2/GAC composites.The photocatalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method.Methyl trimethoxy silane was added as a precursor sol solution to bind...
