In addition, TiO2 -180℃ exhibited the optimal reaction rate constant for the degradation of methylene blue （0.08287 mg/（Lmin））, which is six times higher than that of the mixed rutile/anatase phase TiO2 photocatalytic standard P25 （0.01342 mg/（L min））. Furthermore, cycling photodegradation ex-periments confirmed the stability and reusability of this catalyst. The unique physicochemical properties resulting from the low-temperature preparation of TiO2 -180℃, including its broadband visible absorption associated with a high concentration of oxygen vacancies, large surface area, and enriched surface -OH/H2O may be responsible for this excellent photocatalytic performance. The use of as-prepared TiO2 -180℃ for practical applications is expected after further optimization.展开更多

The degradation of Rbodamine B was studied on a 220 liters hydrodynamic cavitation setup using multiple hole orifice plates in this paper. The experimental results showed that Rhodamine B was really decomposed by hydrodynamic cavitation. Some factors influencing degradation effect i.e. geometric parameters and operation conditions also were discussed. It was concluded there was the optimal ratio of total area of holes to crosssectional area of the pipe and the rate constant increased with a reduction in the value of the modified cavitional number.展开更多
