The photocatalytic performance of TiO2/BTs composites was evaluated with UV-Vis spectrophotometer following the changes of phenol concentration under different illumination time. Effects of the calcination temperature, the pH and the cycles on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/BTs composites were investigated. The composites calcined at 500 and 600 ℃ exhibit the best photocatalytic performance, and the phenol degradation ratios reacting for 40 and 160 rain reach 35% and 78% respectively under the same conditions, higher than those of 29% and 76% of the Degussa P25（TiO2）. The ability of TiO2/BTs500 （BTs500 represents bauxite-tailings calcined at 500 ℃） composites to degrade phenol increases with decreasing pH.展开更多

Sulfur in coal is one of the responsibilities of these negative effects. Coal includes two types of sulfur： organic and inorganic. While inorganic sulfur can be completely removed with physical desulfurization methods, organic sulfur can be removed only by chemical desulfurization methods. But chemical methods are not only expensive but also difficult processes. Firstly in desulfurization, types of the sulfur content in coal should be well characterized. High sulfur Gediz-Turkey coal has been chosen to this study. This coal basin is located in the centre of the Turkey. In this study, characterization and desulfurization possibilities of high sulfur Gediz coal were investigated. For this purpose, several physical and chemical characterization methods such as proximate and ultimate coal analysis （ash, calorific value, volatile matter, moisture and sulfur analysis）, mineralogical and petrographic analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope were used. Results of these analysis are shown that Gediz coals include 3.15% pyritic sulfur and 2.89% organic sulfur. Removing pyritic sulfur from Gediz-Turkey coal with physical methods such as gravity and sink-float separation is not possible because pyrite particle has 1-2 micron liberation size in coal.展开更多
