The sample with the Ce doping concentration of Ce/Mn=l/3 and calcined at 300 ℃ shows a superior activity for NO oxidation to NO2. On Ce（1）Mn（3）Ti catalyst, 58% NO conversion was obtained at 200 ℃ and 85% NO conversion at 250 ℃ with a GHSV of 41000 h-1, which was much higher than that over MnOx/TiO2 catalyst （48% at 250 ℃）. Characterization results implied that the higher activity of Ce（1）Mn（3）Ti could be attributed to the enrichment of well-dispersed MnO2 on the surface and the abundance of Mn3＋ and Zi3＋ species. The addition of Ce into MnO2/TiO2 could improve oxygen storage capacity and facilitate oxygen mobility of the catalyst as shown by PL and ESR, so that its activity for NO oxidation could be enhanced. The effect of H2O and SO2 on the catalyst activity was also investigated.展开更多

The titaniumisopropaxide diluted in propanol hydrolyzed under acidic condition to form a gel. The solvent from gel pores has been extracted at ambient pressure resulting in nano sized TiO2 crystallites. The crystalline phase of TiO2 could be assigned to anatase structure. An average crystallite size is about 12 nm. The surface area of TiO2 found to be 235 m2/g. The TiO2 nanocrystallites thus produced were blended with polysulphone to form its beads for ease of operation. These beads of TiO2 were used as photo catalyst in conjunction with H2O2 oxidizer in presence of UV light (254 nm) for treating the 50 ppm Rhodamine B aqueous solution. The solution decolorized within 10 minutes resulting in disappearance of absorption peak at around 600 nm in UV spectrometry. The organic entities degrade in about 60 minutes. The beads of nano sized TiO2 could be easily recovered from the treated effluent for further use.展开更多

Catalyst CuCoOx/TiO2 with Cu/Co molar ratio of 1/2, CuCo total loading of 30% at the calcination temperature of 350℃ formed CuCo204 spinel and had the highest activity. NO conversion reached 98.9% at 200℃. Mechanism of the reduction was also investigated, N20 was mainly yielded below 100℃, while N2 was produced instead at higher temperature. O2 was supposed to accelerate the reaction between NOx and CO for its oxidation of NO to give more easily reduced NO2, but the oxidation of CO by O2 to CO2 decreased the speed of the reaction greatly. Either SO2 or H20 had no adverse impact on the activity of NO reduction; however, in the presence of both SO2 and H20, the catalyst deactivated quickly.展开更多

It was found that TPT in supercritical ethanol could be effectively converted into the anatase-form of TiO 2 crystallites. The anatase-form of TiO 2 as a photo-catalyst was evaluated for its adsorptivity and subsequent photo-catalytic activities on formaldehyde, one of the harmful air pollutants in the environment. As a result, the supercritically treated TiO 2 had a high decomposing ability. Under the same condition, the experiment was repeated for 5 times,and photocatalysis of the samples did not decrease. This indicated that the supercritical treatment was effective to prepare photo-catalytic TiO 2, which was feature by stability, longevity and high photo-catalytic decomposition of formaldehyde for environmental cleaning. Meanwhile, unlike conventional chemical reaction, which is complex and time-consuming, supercritical treatment is easy to operate, saving both time and labor.展开更多
