Abstract This work is devoted to the study of new bioindifferent photocatalysts that use the energy of solar radiation to purify water from organic pollutants. Photocatalytic materials were obtained by a previously developed low-temperature pyrolytic synthesis. Varying the bismuth content in the percursor mixture within 15-30 %, allows controlling the phase formation of the bismuth and strontium silicate phases. The samples obtained at 25 % bismuth in the precursor mixture (in terms of Bi2O3 %, wt.) show the highest photocatalytic activity with Bi12SiO2, Bi4Si3O12 formed in the catalyst composition. Photocatalytic activity of coatings with the predominance of bismuth silicates is inferior to coatings with the predominance of strontium bismuthates, but their greater hydrolytic stability is observed.

Abstract Heterogeneous photocatalysts was a promising material for removing organic pollutants. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) was a suitable photocatalyst for its cost efficiency and high stability to reduce various pollutants. Enhancing TiO2 photocatalyst performance by doping with changed metals or non-metal ions and organic compounds have been reviewed. These methods could enhance photoelectrochemical activity via: (i) by a donor of electrons via electron-donor agents that would produce particular defects in TiO2 structure and capture transporters of charge; (ii) by reducing recombination rate of the charge transporters and increasing degradation of pollutants. This study investigates the modification approaches of TiO2 that comprise methods for overcoming the essential TiO2 restrictions and enhancing the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Consequently, it emphasized on the current progress of modified-TiO2 used for different pollutants in ambient conditions. Amendment techniques, such as inorganic and organic parts as doping, are studied. The reported experimental results obtained with the photocatalytic oxidation process for degrading organic pollutants were also collected and assessed.

Background: The demand for photocatalytic processes assisted by solar radiation has stimulated the upgrading of established systems, as the semiconductor modification with noble metals. Objective: the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic activity evaluation of the Ag-TiO2, against sulfamethoxazole molecule, and investigate the significance of the plasmonic phenomenon in Visible (450 - 1000nm) and UV-Vis (315-800 nm) radiation. Methods: Different nanocomposites Ag/TiO2 ratios were synthesized by the deposition of Ag nanoparticles on the TiO2 surface by in-situ photoreduction, and then calcinated at 400°C for 2 hr. The chemical-physical properties of the materials were examined by UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance (UV-Vis DRS) Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The experiments were conducted in a cooled photochemical reactor irradiated by halogen lamp (250W). The degradation of Sulfamethoxazole was monitored by HPLC-DAD. Results: Although the prepared photocatalysts show an intense plasmonic band centered at 500 nm, no photocatalytic activity was observed in the process assisted by artificial visible radiation ( ≥ 450 nm). In processes assisted by artificial UV-Vis radiation, the photolysis rate of the model compound (sulfamethoxazole) was higher than the photocatalytic rate, and in the absence of UV radiation, all the reactions were inhibited. The positive effect of the presence of silver nanoparticles onto the TiO2 surface was only evidenced in studies involving solar radiation. Conclusion: The results suggest the need for a balance between UV and Vis radiation to activate the nanocomposite and perform the sulfamethoxazole degradation.
