Kinetics of Photocatalytic Degradation of Gaseous Organic Compounds on Modified TiO_2/AC Composite Photocatalyst

This study is focused on the kinetic characteristics of photocatalytic degradation of gaseous organic compounds on modified titanium dioxide/activated carbon composite photocatalyst(MTA).The MTA,which co-doping with iron(Fe) and nitrogen(N),was synthesized by a sol-gel method,and its photocatalytic performance was investigated under different reaction conditions.The experimental data obtained were tested by the zero,first and second order kinetic model,and the factors affecting the kinetic model were analyzed.It was clearly demonstrated that the experimental data of toluene and acetone on MTA fit quite well with second order kinetic model equation,but the experimental data of formaldehyde fits well with zero order kinetic model equation.

Visible light-driven oxygen evolution using a binuclear Ru-bda catalyst

Binuclear ruthenium complexes bearing the2,2'‐bipyridine‐6,6'‐dicarboxylate(bda)ligand have been demonstrated to be highly active catalysts towards water oxidation with CeIV as an oxidant.However,the catalytic properties of ruthenium dimers have not yet been explored for visible light‐driven water oxidation.Herein,the photocatalytic performance of a dipyridyl propane‐bridged ruthenium dimer2was investigated in comparison with its monomeric precursor,[Ru(bda)(pic)2](1),in CH3CN/phosphate buffer mixed solvent in a three‐component system including a photosensitizer and a sacrificial electron acceptor.Experimental results showed that the activity of each catalyst was strongly dependent on the content of CH3CN in the phosphate buffer,which not only affected the driving force for water oxidation,but also altered the kinetics of the reaction,probably through different mechanisms associated with the O–O bond formation.As a result,dimer2showedsignificantly higher activity than monomer1in the solvent containing a low content of CH3CN,and comparable activities were attained with a high content of CH3CN in the solvent.Under the optimal conditions,complex2achieved a turnover number of638for photocatalytic O2evolution.

Photocatalytic degradation kinetics in Rhodamine B dye degradation with poriferous TiO_2 photocatalyst

A type of poriferous TiO2 material was prepared using cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide as a template agent and butyl tetra titanate as a precursor. Through studying the photocatalytic kinetic activity of Rhodamine B photocatalytic degradation reaction with a UV-1601PC ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, the photocatalytic degradation process of Rhodamine B was found to not correspond to the first-order kinetic process completely. According to the reaction phenomenon, the photocatalytic degradation process of Rhodamine B with poriferous TiO2 involved two irreversible reactions. The kinetic model was tested using experimental data.

Kinetic Modeling of the Photocatalytic Reduction of Cr（VI） in the Presence of Dye Using Composite Photocatalyst

The photocatalytic properties of surface TiO2 supported zeolite in a semi batch reactor for the reduction of Cr（VI） in the presence of methyl orange dye were investigated. The prepared composite photocatalyst was characterized by SEM-EDS （scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy）. The effects of operating parameters such as the pH and concentration of Cr（VI） in the absence and presence of dye were evaluated. The Cr（VI） reduction was more efficient in the ternary system （Cr（VI）/dye/TiO2-zeolite） than that of the corresponding binary system （Cr（VI）/TiO2-zeolite）. The extent of metal reduction after 210 min of irradiation was 68% at pH = 3 for the ternary system. In order to optimize the effectiveness of the composite photocatalyst on the photocatalytic reduction of Cr（VI）, kinetics and isotherm models were applied. The kinetics of Cr（VI） in the presence of dye on TiO2/zeolite composite photocatalyst followed the pseudo-first-order model while the equilibrium data correlated reasonably well with Freundlich isotherm.

Photocatalytic Degradation of Diethyl Phthalate with Surfactant Addition

This paper studies the adsorption of diethyl phthalate （DEP,an environmental hormone） on the surface of nanoscale TiO2, effects of pH value of solutions, initial concentrations of DEP and additive surfactant on photocatalytic degradation and dynamics of DEP. Under ultra violet illumination, the interaction between DEP and surfactants including DBS （sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate）, CTAB （cetyltrimethylammonium bromide）, and OP-10 （nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether） was exploited from the perspective of degradation speed calculated by the data of high pressure liquid chromatography （HPLC） and UV-Vis spectra, respectively. Photocatalytic degradation of DEP followed pseudo first-order reaction kinetics. DEP as substrate degraded fast when its initial concentration was 130 mg/L. TiO2 had certain adsorption ability of DEP. TiO2 could adsorb the most DEP at the approximately neutral pH of 6.91. Degradation of DEP was not affected obviously by additives OP-10 and DBS. Degradation rate of DEP was not enhanced greatly in the presence of surfactants, but degradation of DBS was sped up. Degradation rate of DEP was depressed in the presence of additive CTAB. The more CTAB was added, the less DEP was degraded. Degradation rate of CTAB became slow with the increase of initial CTAB concentration. The possible adsorption models among TiO2, DEP and surfactants were given.
