CdS Nanorods have been successfully prepared by hydrothermal synthesis technology by using cadmium nitrate and thiourea as the raw material,by using diethylene triamine as the template agent. The samples were characterized by the technique of XRD、TEM and SEM. The results indicated that the products were pure hexagonal CdS. This paper also used the samples as photocatalysts to study the degradation the solution of methyl orange. The concentration of methyl orange was unchanged during the process of experiment. We also investigated the effect of the amount of catalyst, and pH of the solution on the degradation rate of methyl orange. The experimental results showed that methyl orange degradation rate reached 90% with the amount of catalyst 0.020 g, solution pH of 3.5 and UV irradiation 120 min.

AbstractSynthesis of bismuth oxide synthesis through the precipitation method using H2C2O4 and Na2CO3 precipitating agents, identification of physicochemical properties and its photocatalysis activity for methyl orange degradation were conducted. The bismuth oxide synthesis was undertaken by dissolving Bi(NO3)3.5H2O in HNO3, then added precipitating agents to form precipitate. The results showed that bismuth oxide produced by H2C2O4 precipitating agent was a yellow powder containing a mixture of α-Bi2O3 (monoclinic) and β-Bi2O3 (tetragonal), porous with size of 28-85 μm. Meanwhile, the use of Na2CO3 as precipitating agent resulted in bismuth oxide consisting of α-Bi2O3 and β-Bi2O3 and Bi2O4, irregular shape without pore being 40-115 μm in size. Bismuth oxide synthesized with H2C2O4 precipitating agent showed higher photocatalytic activity compared to bismuth oxide synthesized using Na2CO3 on degrading methyl orange dye with degradation rate constants of 2.35x10-5 s-1 for H2C2O4 and 1.81x10-5 s-1 for Na2CO3.

Methyl orange decoloration was conducted in the solution containing NaHCO3. TiO2 and the mixture of TiO2 and HZSM-5 were used as the photocatalysts. The addition of TiO2 greatly changed adsorption of methyl orange in solutions containing different concentration of NaHCO3. The existence of NaHCO3 can improve photocatalytic degradation of the dye under UV irradiation in the solution containing TiO2. As high as 55% decoloration of the dye occurred in the solution containing 1.0 mol/l NaHCO3. When NaHCO3 concentration was lower than 0.08 mol/l, adsorption of the dye was fairly weak on the mixture. At the same time, decoloration of the dye deceased with increasing NaHCO3 concentration. When NaHCO3 concentration was high, adsorption and decoloration of the dye were better at higher NaHCO3 concentration.

PEG1000 was used as template to prepare porous TiO2 film by sol-gel method. The functions of applied potential and concentration of NaHCO3 to the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of methyl orange on porous and smooth TiO2 films were investigated. Methyl orange degradation rate has two optimal values at the applied potential of 0.8 V and 1.8 V. The addition of PEG may have negative effect on photoelectrocatalytic activity of TiO2 film. The degradation rate increases with increasing NaHCO3 concentration from 0 up to 0.05 mol/l, and then it declines after further increase of electrolyte concentration. After 100 min of reaction, the degradation rates on the films prepared without and with PEG addition are 63.78% and 65.22%, respectively.

Photocatalytic activities of simple mixture of TiO2 and NaX, and TiO2-NaX composite prepared by solid-state dispersion method were investigated. Methyl orange degradation rate increased sharply when TiO2 concentration was low and reached its maximum value at TiO2 concentration of 200 mg/l when using pure TiO2. After 120 min of irradiation, methyl orange degradation rate could reach 98.4%, which means nearly all of the dye degraded after two hours. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 and NaX simple mixture increased with increasing amount of NaX up to 60.4% when NaX amount was 1.4 g/l. The composite TiO2-NaX prepared by grinding had lower activity at various NaX addition amount. The photocatalytic activity of composite TiO2-NaX prepared by solid-state dispersion was better than the composite before calcination. However, the maximum degradation rate was only 41.2%, which was still lower than pure TiO2.

Photocatalytic activity of simple mixture of TiO2 and HY(FeY), and TiO2-HY(FeY) composite prepared by solid-state dispersion method were investigated to study the effect of Y zeolite addition on TiO2 activity. Methyl orane degradation rate increased sharply with increasing TiO2 amount at low photocatalyst concentration until it reached the maximum value when TiO2 concentration was 200 mg/l. In the wide range of HY(FeY) content, TiO2-HY(FeY) composite prepared by solid-state dispersion method showed weaker photocatalytic activity on methyl orange degradation compared with pure TiO2. When TiO2:HY ratio was 10:5, the maximum methyl orange degradation rate was 51.2% in the simple mixture of TiO2 and HY. When TiO2:FeY ratio was 10:7 in the simple mixture of TiO2 and FeY, the optimum methyl orange degradation rate was 60.9%, which was a little higher than that of TiO2.

In order to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2, the optimal catalytic conditions of TiO2 and niobate as well as the composite TiO2 and niobate photocatalyst were studied. 10 mg/l of methyl orange solution was taken as imitated waste water. The results indicated that the optimum dosage of TiO2 was 0.8 g/l. The optimal calcination temperature to prepare lanthanum niobate was 900 oC. n(La):n(Nb) was in the range of 0.6:1−3:1, and the photocatalyst prepared in the ratio of 1.4:1 showed the highest activity. The results also showed that, TiO2-lanthanum niobate composite prepared by solid-state reaction method showed better photocatalytic activity on methyl orange degradation compared with pure TiO2. After 120 minutes of irradiation, methyl orange degradation rate reached 94.2 % when using the composite photocatalyst.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) coating was prepared through dipping stainless steel net into titanium dioxide sol and then extracting it. The photocatalytic activities for all titanium dioxide coatings were tested by methyl orange degradation under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation. The photo-absorption property was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The titanium dioxide coating is photo-catalytically reactive for the degradation of methyl orange. The photo-catalytic activity is influenced by extraction times, degradation time, doping element and light source. La-doped titanium dioxide exhibits the best photocatalytic activity in comparison with undoped, V-doped and La-V-codoped ones. The degradation rate of methyl orange by La-doped titanium dioxide coating reaches 92% after 70 minutes irradiation under ultraviolet light.
