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.

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.

Blue Solution

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.

Synthesis Protocol

We report tunable-morphology oriented facile yet scalable route to synthesize 1D (nanorod) and 2D (nanobelt) MoO3 nanostructures at gram scale using conventional as well as sonochemistry assisted sol–gel technique. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the samples can be befittingly altered by varying the synthesis protocol. The resultant orthorhombic MoO3 nanomorphs demonstrated efficient and expeditious photocatalytic degradation of the pollutant dye, Methylene Blue (MB). We have observed that appreciable photocatalytic MB dye-degradation can be accomplished within 30 minutes with high rate constants of 0.0786 min−1 and 0.233 min−1 for rod and belt-like MoO3-nanostructures, respectively. The pilot results indicate that the resultant MoO3 nanomorphs can be potentially used as solar light driven industrial photocatalyst material with their intrinsic photostability.

The aim of this work was to synthesize semiconducting oxide nanoparticles using a simple method with low production cost to be applied in natural sunlight for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants in waste water. Iron titanate (Fe 2 TiO 5 ) nanoparticles with an orthorhombic structure were successfully synthesized using a modified sol–gel method and calcination at 750°C. The as-prepared Fe 2 TiO 5 nanoparticles exhibited a moderate specific surface area. The mesoporous Fe 2 TiO 5 nanoparticles possessed strong absorption in the visible-light region and the band gap was estimated to be around 2.16 eV. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue under natural sunlight. The effect of parameters such as the amount of catalyst, initial concentration of the dye and pH of the dye solution on the removal efficiency of methylene blue was investigated. Fe 2 TiO 5 showed high degradation efficiency in a strong alkaline medium that can be the result of the facilitated formation of OH radicals due to an increased concentration of hydroxyl ions.

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.
