Degradation Of Methyl Orange

The ZnO-Cr2O3 composites with different complex proportion were prepared by a sol-gel method. The mol ratio of Zn and Cr element could be tuned by controlling the concentration of the precursors. These composites showed photocatalytic activities in degradation of methyl orange under the irradiation of 300W mercury lamp. And the activities regularly varied with the mol ratio of Zn and Cr. When n（Zn）:n（Cr）=10:1, a composite with best photocatalytic activity could be obtained.

Photocatalytic Activities

A series of TiO2 thin films with and without Ce3+ doping were successfully obtained on microscope glass slides by sol-gel method. The photocatalytic activities of the pure TiO2 and Ce3+-doped TiO2 thin films were evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B solution. The effects of both Ce3+ contents and annealing temperatures on the photocatalytic activities of the samples were examined. The results indicated that the TiO2 thin film with an atomic ratio of Ti:Ce=5:1 annealed at 300°C had a higher photocatalytic activity among the samples.

Surfactant Assisted

FeVO4photocatalysts were synthesized via a surfactant-assisted sol-gel method and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microsoope （SEM）and specific surface area (BET). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution under visible light. The XRD patterns of no-surfactant-assisted, PEG-assisted, CTAB-assisted and SDS-assisted FeVO4, indicate that diffraction peaks can be well indexed as triclinc FeVO4. And the crystalline sizes of samples were evaluated as 113, 69, 66, 76 nm for FVO, FVO-PEG, FVO-CATB and FVO-SDS respectively.The addition of surfactant woul greatly affect the morphology of FeVO4photocatalysts, which can lead to different photocatalytic activities between them. In the experimental conditions used, the PEG-assisted FeVO4product had a much higher photocatalytic activity (the photodegradation rate was about 77% or so in 14h) than the other three products.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Utilizing zinc acetate as precursor, and monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA) as stabilizers, respectively, ZnO nanoparticles with uniformly distributed grains were synthesized by sol-gel method at different sintering temperatures. Analysis of the degradation of methyl orange by photocatalysis shows that utilizing MEA as the stabilizer and 550°C as the sintering temperature results in smaller grain size, greater surface-to-volume ratio, and a density of surface defects suitable for a photocatalyst. The greatest photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange was achieved under UV irradiation. Based on our microstructural analysis and photocatalysis, the microstructure of ZnO particles and, in turn, their photocatalytic effect are affected significantly by the stabilizer type and the sintering temperature.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

BaF 2 –TiO 2 nanocomposite material (hereinafter called the composite) was prepared by a sol–gel method. The composite surface area, morphology and structure were characterized by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method, X-ray diffraction analysis and a scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that BaF 2 and TiO 2 form a PN-like structure on the surface of the composite. Composites were used to catalyse the degradation of methyl orange by irradiation with ultraviolet light, γ-rays and an electron beam (EB). It was demonstrated that the composite is found to be more efficient than the prepared TiO 2 and commercial P25 in the degradation of methyl orange under γ-irradiation. Increasing the composite catalyst concentration within a certain range can effectively improve the decolorization rate of the methyl orange solution. However, when the composite material is used to catalyse the degradation of organic matter in the presence of ultraviolet light or 10 MeV EB irradiation, the catalytic effect is poor or substantially ineffective. In addition, a hybrid mechanism is proposed; BaF 2 absorbs γ-rays to generate radioluminescence and further excites TiO 2 to generate photo-charges. Due to the heterojunction effect, the resulting photo-charge will produce more active particles. This seems to be a possible mechanism to explain γ-irradiation's catalytic behaviour.

The ammonia phosphate treated HZSM-5 zeolite was used as support for TiO2 prepared by sol-gel method. Adsorption and photocatalytic activity of the zeolite, adsorption of the loaded TiO2, and the optimum TiO2 loading percentage were studied. The zeolite can concentrate methyl orange solution after adsorbing water and possesses no obvious photocatalytic activity. The solution reached its adsorption equilibrium after 20 min when using TiO2 loaded on HZSM-5. In the TiO2 loading range from 10% to 70%, the dye decoloration rate increased constantly from 20% to 36.2%. The activity of the TiO2 was enhanced after loading with the optimum loading percent of 70%. During the whole 180 min of irradiation, TiO2/HZSM-5 showed enhanced methyl orange decoloration activity.
