A novel porous TiO2-Al2O3 composite as a kind of environmental material was prepared by sol-gel method. The pore size distribution is not even in the whole pore size range. When pore size is 7.049 nm, the maximum pore volume of the material is 0.06627 cm3·g-1. The average pore size for the material is 14.56 nm and the total pore volume is 0.3945 cm3·g-1, as calculated from BJH method. Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange can be regarded as following first order kinetic reaction. After 90 min of reaction, methyl orange degradation on the material was 77.0% and the total dye decoloration rate was 95.1%, containing both adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. The intensities of both peaks in visible and UV regions decreased sharply during photocatalytic degradation process.

In this study, TiO2 nanocrystals, 1 mol% Ag-doped TiO2, and 1 mol% Ag and 0.6 mol% Zn co-doped TiO2 powders were synthesized by the sol–gel route. Their photocatalytic activities on methyl orange dye under visible irradiation were investigated. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD results revealed the presence of a rutile phase with an average crystallite size of 9 and 11 nm. The UV–vis spectra showed a red-shift towards a longer wavelength with the corresponding decrease in band gap from 2.9 to 2.5 eV. The BET surface areas of the nanoparticles ranged from 4.7 to 11.8 m2 g−1 with an average pore size between 18.9 and 56.6 nm. The Ag-doped TiO2 has the largest surface area of 11.8 m2 g−1, whereas the Ag–Zn co-doped TiO2 was found to have the highest pore size and volume. The absorption bands at 750–500 cm−1 were attributed to the –O–Ti–O– bond in the TiO2 lattice. The photocatalytic efficiency was highest at an optimum pH of 4.1 for Ag–Zn co-doped TiO2. The results confirmed that Ag-doped and Ag–Zn co-doped TiO2 were more effective than pure TiO2. The kinetic data were fitted into a pseudo first-order equation using a Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model.

Pore Size Distributions

Nanoporous carbonaceous materials derived from polysiloxane were first prepared by pyrolysis at 1300°C followed with hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching treatment. Their thermal stability of pore structure in inert condition was investigated in this paper by nitrogen adsorption technique in detail. The specific surface area (SSA) and pore volume (total pore volume, micropore volume, mesopore volume) decreased continually in the heat-treatment temperature range of 1000~1400°C. The average pore size almost kept the same with the raw sample. However, when the temperature exceeded 1400°C, the micropore interconnection began transforming to mesopore structure, which led to the decline of SSA and the increase of average pore size. Furthermore, the pore size distributions (PSDs) curves showed that heat-treatment had an advantage on the transition process of pore structure from disorder to regularity to some extent when heat-treated in the range 1000~1400°C for the most possible reason of relief of residue strain in the carbonaceous materials.

Sol Gel Process

TiO2 film was dip-coated on glass substrate by a sol-gel process. Ti(OC4H9)4 was used as the titanium source. Surface morphology, crystallite phase, UV-Vis transmittance spectrum and pore size distribution of TiO2 powder prepared under the same conditions of the film were investigated. Surface of TiO2 film is fairly smooth with very slight roughness. No obvious hole or pore is found on the surface of the film. The strongest diffraction peak situated at 2θ=25.3o is the characteristic of anatase TiO2. The absorption edge of the TiO2 film is around 350 nm, while the transmittance fluctuates between 50% and 90%. The average pore size of the TiO2 particles calculated by BJH method is 23 nm. The total pore volume and specific surface area are 0.16 ml/g and 27 m2/g, respectively.

Abstract Sol-gel method was used to prepare a novel In-Sm co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared/far infrared, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance, and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses. Anatase phase TiO2 is formed in the pure and doped TiO2 samples. Anatase TiO2 crystal formation and growing are disturbed by the dopants. The substitution of smaller Ti4+ ions by the larger Sm3+ and In3+ ions causes the expansion of TiO2 cell. The doping of indium and samarium ions has no noticeable influence on the bonding characters of TiO2. A continuous red shift of the absorption edge of xIn-0.05%Sm-TiO2 occurs at increasing indium doping content. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, average pore size, and total pore volume are enhanced after doping of samarium and indium. The adsorption of methyl orange on the surface of xIn-0.05%Sm-TiO2 increases with rising indium content. The 5%In-0.05%Sm-TiO2 has the maximum photocatalytic activity. About 97.7% of the initial methyl orange is decolorized on 5%In-0.05%Sm-TiO2 after 45 min of irradiation.

Porous and smooth TiO2 film electrodes prepared by sol-gel method were used on methyl orange degradation by an electro-assisted photocatalytic degradation process. Methyl orange cannot be degraded under applied potential solely below 2.0 V. When the applied potential was below 1.3 V, methyl orange degradation rates on porous TiO2 film increased from 5% at 0 V to 65.3% at 1.3 V, and degradation rates on smooth TiO2 film changed from 2.2% at 0 V to 61.1% at 1.3 V. Electro-assisted photocatalytic degradation rate on porous film was better than that on smooth film in the whole electrolyte concentration range. Electro-assisted degradation exhibited the same rising trend along with reaction time on the porous and smooth films.

In this study, the effect of Ru-Mn bimetallic catalysts in combination with a zeolite support on the removal of toluene in the presence of ozone at room temperature was investigated. Desili-cated HZSM-5 (DZSM) was fabricated and applied as a Ru-Mn support for the removal of toluene (100 ppm) in the presence of ozone (1000 ppm) at room temperature. The surface area, pore volume, and average pore size of Ru-Mn with a DZSM support (RuMn/DZSM) were measured and compared with those of Ru-Mn/HZSM-5 (RuMn/HZSM). The pore size of RuMn/DZSM (69 Å) was much larger than that of RuMn/HZSM-5 (5.5 Å). In addition, the pore volumes of RuMn/DZSM and RuMn/HZSM were 0.64 and 0.25 cm3/g, respectively. Furthermore, the ratios of Mn3+/Mn4+ and Ovacancy/Olattice of RuMn/DZSM were larger than those of RuMn/HZSM-5. The removal efficiency of toluene of RuMn/DZSM was higher than that of RuMn/HZSM due to its larger pore volume, pore size, and the increased ratios of Mn3+/Mn4+ and Ovacancy/Olattice.

The uptake data of CO2 adsorption at 273 K by coconut shell chars prepared at various carbonization temperatures from 250 to 550°C were used for characterizing pore texture of chars as well as the analysis of CO2 adsorption kinetics. The equilibrium isotherms were used to determine the porous texture of chars, employing the DR equation and GCMC simulation. It was found that all the test chars contain micropores of a size range from 0.8 to 2.2 nm with the pore size distribution becoming wider for char prepared at a higher carbonization temperature. Porous properties of chars, including surface area, total pore volume, and the average pore size, appear to increase with an increasing carbonization temperature. The analysis of CO2 uptake during the transient measurement of isotherms revealed that the kinetics of CO2 adsorption is governed by the internal diffusional transport of the adsorptive molecules. The effective pore diffusivity characterizing this transport process increases with increasing CO2 loading and passes through a maximum at a certain loading. This maximum pore diffusivity shifts to a higher value as the carbonization temperature is increased. A semiempirical equation was developed to correlate the effective pore diffusivity of CO2 with the equilibrium adsorption loading and its predictive capability is satisfactory.
