With the widely research of Photocatalytic titanium dioxide, researchers have found another way of managing air quality. As an excellent photocatalyst material, nanometer titanium dioxide has begun to be used in road engineering in recent years. In this paper, at first, different content of titanium dioxide were dispersed evenly and separately in a kind of silane solvent to make the coating material with photocatalytic performance. The results show that nanometer titanium dioxide is able to decompose CO, HC, NO and CO2 after being dispersed in silane solvent. The results also show that a certain content oftitanium dioxide can be chosen after considering effect, workability and economic factors in practical application. Then the brushing method and the decomposition effect of the photocatalytic paint are discussed. The tests indicate that proper content of nanometer titanium dioxide with suitable brushing method can maximize catalytic efficiency. At last, in order to study the decomposition mechanism, using ion chromatography and chemical titration to analyze the decomposition products separately, the results prove that nanometer titanium dioxide can decompose NO, HC, CO and other harmful gases into nitrate and carbonate.

With the widely research of nano-TiO2, researchers have found another way of managing air quality. As an excellent photocatalyst material, nanometer titanium dioxide has begun to be used in road engineering in recent years. In this paper, substantial gas decomposition tests are performed utilizing the self-designed sealed container and UV aging box. At first, the catalytic efficiencies of nanometer titanium dioxide dispersed in silane solvent and in asphalt mixture were compared. The results show that nanometer titanium dioxide is able to decompose CO, HC and NO after being dispersed in silane solvent and asphalt mixture. To achieve the same catalytic efficiency, the amount of the nanometer titanium dioxide dispersed in silane solvent is much less than that in asphalt mixture. For asphalt mixture, high void fraction may mean high catalytic efficiency. Then the long-term decomposition of asphalt mixture was discussed. The asphalt mixture still has good catalytic decomposition effect after six months. The catalytic effect of asphalt mixture does not diminish over time and the effect of decomposing HC has improved after six months. At last, for cement paint, the catalytic effect of decomposing NO and HC does not diminish over time, but the effect of decomposing CO reduces.

AbstractIn this study, a high-energy ball mill was used to composite nano-TiO2 and CdS, and three kinds of nanocomposite photocatalysts TiO2, CdS/TiO2-R400, and CdS/TiO2-R600 were prepared, which can respond to visible light. The photocatalytic concrete test block was prepared by mixing the nanocomposite photocatalyst and other masses with cement by incorporation method. To study the effect of the photocatalyst content on the photocatalytic performance of nanoconcrete, a total of four catalyst contents (0, 2%, 5%, and 8%) were set. The effects of high-temperature treatment (400°C) and different light sources (ultraviolet and visible light) on photocatalytic efficiency were also considered. The results show that the catalytic efficiency of CdS/TiO2-R400 under two light sources is higher than that of the other two photocatalysts. Compared to ultraviolet light sources, the photocatalytic efficiency of CdS/TiO2 nanocomposite concrete under visible light is lower, and the efficiency is below 9%. The optimal amounts of CdS/TiO2 nanocomposite photocatalyst under ultraviolet and visible light are 2% and 5%, respectively. The high-temperature treatment can improve the photocatalytic performance of CdS/TiO2 nanocomposite photocatalyst by 2% to 3%.

Studies have shown that nanometer Titanium dioxide is an excellent photocatalyst material, which owns environmental protection function of decomposing car exhaust, and it begins to be used in road works in recent years. In this paper, firstly a representative concentration ratio of each component in exhaust gas is reached according to statistical result from a large number of vehicle exhaust samples, and simulated gas used in laboratory test is prepared according to the ratio. Then substantial gas- decomposition tests are performed utilizing the self-designed sealed container and UV aging box. Applying ion chromatography to analyze the decomposition products, it is proved that nano-titanium dioxide can decompose NOx, HC, CO and other harmful gases into nitrate and carbonate. Subsequently, an excellent concrete protection materials- anticorrosive of silane solvent is selected as dispersion solvent, and a certain amount of titanium dioxide is dispersed evenly in the solvent to make the coating material with photocatalytic performance, the brushing method and decomposition effect of the coating material are discussed. In the end, a brushing method with better decomposition effect is applied on cement collision wall on middle ring in Pudong district, while nano-titanium is also contained in the surface layer of pavement; Field measurement results show that the decomposition of car exhaust effect is obvious.

In this article powdered composites of titanium dioxide and silica with high-developed surface(183–534 m2 / g), synthesized from industrial wastes, are considered as photocatalytic concrete additives. Their composition was studied, and the photocatalytic performance was evaluated by decomposition of the dye “Methylene blue” under UV-irradiation. The surfactant’s concentration at which the photocatalytic activity reaches its highest values was determined.

In order to expand photoresponse range of TiO2, reduce energy consumption of semiconductor material optical catalytic, certain amount of rare earth element Erbiun was doped during preparation of anatase titanium dioxide to improve the light absorption and photocatalysis efficiency. A series of rare earth element doped TiO2 material were prepared by sol-gel process, and characterized by means of UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra. UV-vis absorption verified that doping of Er3+ enhanced absorptive capacity of catalyst in visible region. The photocatalytic performance of anatase titanium dioxide and rare earth element Erbiun doped with TiO2 to basic fuchsin were studied.

A drug delivery system based on nanomaterials has demonstrated a powerful function in disease treatment. In this study, a titanium-dioxide-nanotube-based cisplatin (nano-TiO2-DDP) delivery system was designed, and its effects in rats with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and on tumor cells were analyzed. First, we obtained electrochemistry anodic oxidation (EAO) for the preparation of Nnano-TiO2, which was adopted as the carrier of cisplatin (CDDP). Then, we used a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to characterize and study the surface morphology of nano-TiO2. At the cellular level, flow cytometry, MTT, and Transwell assays were performed to analyze the apoptosis, proliferation, and invasion of cells treated by nano-TiO2-DDP, respectively. At the animal level, a xenotransplantation model was established for evaluating tumor growth and changes in experimental animals after injection of nano-TiO2-DDP. As a result, nano-TiO2-DDP strongly suppressed the invasion and vitality of tumor cells, induced their apoptosis, and delivered DDP more efficiently than did systems without a nano-TiO2 structure. In addition, injected nano-TiO2-DDP strongly inhibited the growth of solid tumors in vivo. Therefore, we believe that nano-TiO2-DDP can effectively suppress the growth of NPC, and it is more efficient than conventional drugs.
