TiO2 powders with different Fe^3+ / Ti^4 + molar ratios ranging from 0. 05% to 25% were synthesized by calcinating the gels in the temperature range of 200-600 ℃ . The effects of the content of iron ions and calcination temperature on the physical properties of the powders and their photocatalytic activities were examined by the photodecorapositon of methyl orange in sunlight. The results show that Fe dopant can decrease the temperature of nanatase-ratile transformation. The ideal photocatalytic property was achieved when the sample with an Fe^3+ / Ti^4+ ratio of 20 at% was calcined at about 300 ℃ for an hour, which is superior to that of commercial Degussa P-25. The optimum microstructure of the Fe-doped TiO2 for a high photocatalytic activity in sunlight is consisted of nanatase and ratile.展开更多

The TiO2 sol doped with Fe^3+ ions was prepared by sol-gel processing. The influences of the process conditions of coating nanophotocatalytic material- Fe^3+-TiO2 film on the surface of porous ceramic filter by dipping-lift method on the performance of porous ceramic filter were studied. The porous ceramic filters have two functions at the same time, filtration and photocatalytic degradation. The results of this study showed that the pH and viscosity of the sol, amount of Fe^3+ ions doped as well as the coating times greatly affect the quality of coating film, the performance parameters and the photocatalytic activity of the porous ceramic filter. When the pH of the sol is 3-4, the viscosity is about 6 mPa.S, the amount of doped Fe^3+ ions is about 2.0 g/L, the porous ceramic filter has been shown to have the best filtering performance and photocatalytic activity. In this condition, the porosity of porous ceramic is about 42.5%, the pore diameter is 8-10μm. The degradation of methyl-orange is 74.76% under lighting for 120 rain.展开更多

In this paper, KDP crystals were grown from an aqueous solution doped with different concentration of Fe^3+ dopant by traditional temperaturereduction method and "point-seed" rapid growth method. Furthermore, we examined the light scatter and measured the transmission of these KDP crystals. It is found that the dopant of Fe^3+ ion can improve the stability of the KDP growth solution when its concentration is less than 30 ppm. The effects of Fe^3+ ion on the growth habit and optical properties of KDP crystal are also obvious.展开更多
