Kaolin as a natural clay mineral, is commercially available at low costs, which is of great importance. It has been demonstrated by existing research kaolin is a very effective carrier for photo catalyst, being able to promote the photocatalytic reaction process as well as improve the efficiency of reaction. The catalysts was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, UV-Vis spectra methods. Ni and V, amount of catalyst investigate. Simultaneously the effects of photocatalytic reaction activity about concentration of sulfuric acid, calcination temperature, ratio of Ni and V, amount of catalyst investigate. The experimental results show that the photocatalytic activity of calcined kaolin which is treated by 40% and loading Ni and V is significantly higher than other kaolin. The kaolin does not have the B acid and L acid peaks, but people could see the B acid and L acid peaks on the kaolin which is roasted and treated by sulfuric acid. In a certain range, the activity of the catalysts increase with the increasing of the concentration of acid.Journal of agricultural sciences №15 (02): 138-142, 2015

In the present work, we have reported a facile and large-scale synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) through urea-assisted thermal decomposition of titanium oxysulphate. We have successfully synthesized TiO2 NPs by using this effective route with different weight ratios of titanium oxysulphate: urea. The structures and properties of TiO2 NPs were confirmed by scanning electron microscope) (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultra violet–visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), and photoluminescence (Pl) techniques. XRD demonstrated that TiO2 NPs holds of anatase crystal phase with crystallizing size 14–19 nm even after heating at 600 °C. TGA, SEM, and TEM images reveal urea’s role, which controls the size, morphology, and aggregation of TiO2 NPs during the thermal decomposition. These TiO2 NPs were employed for photodegradation of Methyl Orange (MO) in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. An interesting find was that the TiO2 NPs exhibited better photocatalytic activity and excellent recycling stability over several photodegradation cycles. Furthermore, the present method has a great perspective to be used as an efficient method for large-scale synthesis of TiO2 NPs.

Anodizing was applied to improve the heat dissipation performance of aluminum (Al) alloys, by forming an oxide layer, such that they could be employed in aerospace applications. The methods employed were hard sulfuric acid (high hardness), soft sulfuric acid (low hardness), boric-sulfuric mixed acid, tin-sulfuric mixed acid, and chromic acid solutions. Each process was completed under optimized conditions. The surface morphology was observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and a digital camera. For the determination of thermal performance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to measure the emissivity at 50 °C, and laser flash analysis (LFA) was utilized to analyze the thermal diffusivity at room temperature to 300 °C. The radiative property of metals is often ignored because of their low emissivity, however, in this research, the emissivity of the metal oxides was found to be higher than that of bare metal series. This study improved the heat dissipation properties by oxidization of Al via the anodizing process.

Degradation of organic dyes and their byproducts by heterogeneous photocatalysts is an essential process, as these dyes can be potentially discharged in wastewater and threaten aquatic and xerophyte life. Therefore, their complete mineralization into nontoxic components (water and salt) is necessary through the process of heterogeneous photocatalysis. In this study, Zr/CrO2 (Zirconium-doped chromium IV oxide) nanocomposite-based photocatalysts with different compositions (1, 3, 5, 7 & 9 wt.%) were prepared by an environmentally friendly, solid-state reaction at room temperature. The as-prepared samples were calcined under air at 450 °C in a furnace for a specific period of time. The synthesis of Zr/CrO2 photocatalysts was confirmed by various techniques, including XRD, SEM, EDX, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and BET. The photocatalytic properties of all samples were tested towards the degradation of methylene blue and methyl orange organic dyes under UV light. The results revealed a concentration-dependent photocatalytic activity of photocatalysts, which increased the amount of dopant (up to 5 wt.%). However, the degradation efficiency of the catalysts decreased upon further increasing the amount of dopant due to the recombination of holes and photoexcited electrons.

A novel solid-acid catalyst (PVC-EDA-SO4H) based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were prepared after amination of Ethylenediamine (EDA) and anchorage of sulfuric acid. The as-prepared catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, Element analysis, Chemical titration and Thermal analysis, the results indicated that the sulfuric acid was successfully anchored on PVC. The PVC-EDA-SO4H showed excellent catalytic performance for the synthesis of bisphenol F, and achieved almost high yield and selectivity (94%) of BPF under the mind reaction conditions. Meanwhile, exhibited excellent reusability without the significant loss after six cycles via simple filtration.

Titanium dioxide powders were synthesized by ultrasonic-assisted hydrolysis reaction of titanium tetra-isopropoxide at the low-temperature. The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic activity of samples were investigated by the degradation of methyl orange under UV light radiation (6W, λ= 352nm) at room temperature. The results indicated that the products were mainly composed of high homogeneity anatase phases, and the methyl orange degradation rate can reach more than 90% under ultraviolet irradiation 180min. The photocatalytic activity of the samples prepared by ultrasonic method is higher than that of the samples prepared by conventional hydrolysis method.

Considerable work is being carried out recently to develop nanomaterials which can act as photocatalyst under sunlight. In the present study, ZnO@CuS core–shell nanocomposites were synthesized and their photocatalytic activity has been investigated. The nanocomposites were prepared by thermal decomposition of a single molecular precursor, cyclo-tri-μ-thioacetamide-tris(chlorocopper(I)) complex ([Cu3TAA3Cl3]), in the presence of ZnO nanorods in diphenyl ether at 200 °C. The effect of reaction time and precursor concentration on copper sulfide shell formation have been investigated. The ZnO@CuS core–shell nanocomposites were characterized using different techniques such as XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, FT-IR, UV-Vis, DRS and XPS. As compared to bare ZnO nanorods, the ZnO@CuS nanocomposites show better photocatalytic activity towards degradation of congo red in an aqueous solution under sunlight.

Natural clay is a perspective material for application as sorbents for wastewater treatment as well as for sorption of radionuclides, where the properties of the clays can be changed under influence of ionizing radiation. For application of Latvian illite/kaolinite clays for isotope sorption it is important to characterize the physic-chemical properties of pre-prepared air dried clays. Two fractions of the illite clays were selected. A fraction with grain size 100 μm (SiO2 content 60.9 ± 1.5 wt.%, specific surface area 35 m2/g) and a sand free fraction – 2 μm (SiO2 47.7 ± 1.9 wt.%, specific surface area 38 m2/g). Selected fractions were irradiated with accelerated electrons (5 MeV, ELU-4, Salaspils, absorbed dose up to 500 kGy). Non-irradiated and irradiated clays were analysed with means of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry.

In this work, carbon nano-tube/TiO2(CNTs/TiO2) nanocomposites were prepared using a conventional sol-gel method. To further obtain a uniform catalyst film, chitosan (CS) was used as a crosslinker for the CNTs/TiO2composite. The structure and property of CNTs/TiO2/CS film were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, TEM, SEM, and UV-vis. The photocatalytic activities of CNTs/TiO2/CS film were measured through the photocatalytic degradation of gaseous formaldehyde. Compared with the commercial TiO2, higher degradation was achieved with the CNTs/TiO2/CS film due to stronger absorbability and synergetic effect among CNTs, TiO2, and CS.
