The nanometer TiO2film is achieved by sol-gel method, and using tetrabutyl titanate as source, ethanol as solvent, acetic acid as complexing agent. The nanometer TiO2film is prepared by using spin coating method. Methylene blue solution is degraded by the nanometer TiO2film. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency is influenced by the nanometer TiO2film amount, irradiation time, the UV irradiation intensity and solution temperature. The short degradation time shows that the nanometer TiO2film can be used as an easy and efficient method to degrade methylene blue solution.

Opal as a carrier, tetrabutyl titanate as a titanium source, TiO2 loaded on opal was prepared by sol-gel technique. The photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM and UV-VIS absorption spectrum. Their photocatalytic activities were examined by the photocatalytic decolorization of methylene blue solution under UV light irradiation. The effects of calcination temperature, the amount of TiO2 loading and pH on photocatalytic activities were discussed. The results show that TiO2 supported on opal induced enhancement of photocatalytic decolorization rant and TiO2 doping is about 30 wt. % with 92.15% of decolorization rate at 700°C.

Bromophenol blue solution is degraded by the nanometer TiO2. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency is influenced by the nanometer TiO2amount, irradiation time, the UV irradiation intensity and solution temperature. The short degradation time shows that the nanometer TiO2can be used as an easy and efficient method to degrade bromophenol blue solution.

Diatomite supported Cu-doped TiO2 photocatalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM and UV-vis diffuses reflectance of spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue solution under visible light irradiation. The results show that TiO2/diatomite ratio had a great influene on their photocatalytic activities. All prepared Cu-TiO2/diatomite had a better photocatalytic activities in comparison with Cu-TiO2 and the Cu-TiO2(30)/diatomite had higher photocatalytic activity than others. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue is due to the breaking of the chormophoric group, rather than the simple decoloration.

In this paper, the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue solution by photocatalysis bamboo charcoal fiber knitted fabric was studied. The relationships were analyzed between the photocatalytic degradation rate and the reaction time, the initial concentration, pH of methylene blue solution, and the distance between the UV light centre and liquid level. The results indicates that there is an remarkable photocatalytic degradation effect of methylene blue solution by photocatalysis bamboo charcoal fiber knitted fabric under UV-irradiation, even the degradation rate could reach to 67.02%. The degradation effect was better with lower initial concentration of methylene blue solution, higher initial pH,and the shorter distance between light centre and liquid level.

In this research photocatalytic degradation of nanotitania synthesized via sol-gel method and coated on commercial unglazed ceramic tiles was investigated. The starting precursors were titanium (IV) tetraisopropoxide (Ti [OCH(CH3)2]4; TIP), ethanol, hydrochloric acid and distilled water. Unglazed ceramic tiles were sintered at 900°C and 1100°C. The nanotitania based sols were applied on the tile surface using air-brush and calcined at 500°C for 3 h. The particle size of the synthesized TiO2 varied in the range 8-20 nm. The photocatalysis of nanotitania was studied through the photodegradation of methylene blue solution under UVC irradiation using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The presence of nanotitania on unglazed ceramic tiles was confirmed by a scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Ceramic tiles sintered at 900°C gave higher % open porosity and hence higher amount of nanotitania embedded on the ceramic surface. The results showed that all unglazed ceramic tiles coated with nanotitania were able to show photodegradation of methylene blue.

In this paper, Fe (NO3) 3 9H2O and TiO2 were selected as raw materials. Fe2O3/TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared by the impregnation method. The degradation performance of the photocatalyst for methylene blue solution was studied in detail under the tungsten light source environment. The results showed that Fe2O3/TiO2 had the good photocatalytic properties, and that methylene blue had a higher degradation rate at about 60min. In a certain range of loading, degradation gradually increased with the amount of doped iron. The catalytic performance was high at the basic condition. The degradation rate decreased with the higher initial concentration of methylene blue. The photocatalyst with good performance has been prepared.

ZnO/TiO2 nanocomposites with several ratio of the components were prepared by sol-gel method using titanium isopropoxide and titanium butoxide as titania precursors. Phase formation and photocatalytic activity of ZnO/TiO2 nanocomposites depend on ratio of the components and calcination temperature. The photocatalytic activity in dependence on calcination temperasture, phase composition was determined by degradation of methylene blue solution under Hg lamp and solar light imitating illumination. The highest photocatalytic activity showed ZnO/TiO2 nanocomposites containing 99 mol.% ZnO and 50 mol% ZnO when hexagonal ZnTiO3 phase was formed. ZnO/TiO2 nanocomposites exhibited enhanced photoactivity under solar light with respect to Hg lamp irradiation.
