Background: Among water pollutants, Natural Organic Matters (NOMs) are highly important for making problems in water treatment plants. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation of humic acid using magnetic nanoparticles (Fe-doped TiO2@Fe3O4) in aqueous solutions. Methods: In the present experiment, Fe-doped TiO2@Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel method, and SEM, XRD, and DRS analyzes were utilized to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles. The effects of various variables, including pH (3 - 11), initial concentration of humic acid (20 - 80 mg/L), and concentration of nanoparticles (250 - 2000 mg/L) at different reaction times (15 - 60 min) were investigated on the photocatalytic degradation of humic acid. Results: The maximum degradation efficiency of humic acid at pH 3, the initial humic acid concentration of 5 mg/L, nanoparticle dose of 400 mg/L, and reaction time of 60 min using a 15-W bare UV lamp. Conclusions: Due to the high efficiency of photocatalytic degradation, it is proposed to use for the removal of humic acid from water resources.

The Fe3+ and N–doped 3SnO2/TiO2 composite thin films and undoped films coated on glass fibers were prepared by sol–gel and dip–coating methods. The films were calcined at 600°C for 2 hour and characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and XPS. The photocatalytic activity of the coated glass fibers was determined by means of degradation of a methylene blue (MB) solution and humic acid (HA). It was found that the optimized 20N/3SnO2/TiO2composite films exhibit a high photocatalytic activity and HA could be rapidly removed from water. The main factor affecting the HA degradation of 20N/3SnO2/TiO2 films is quantity of glass fibers loading, irradiation power of UV lamp and flow rate of water.

Background: B-TiO2 was supported on the surface of iM16K glass bubbles to achieve a suitable density for the B-TiO2/iM16K composite hollow spheres. Aeration or stirring in the wastewater can lead to thorough mixing of photocatalyst and wastewater. Solid-water separation is quite easy because the materials can float on the water surface while stopping aeration or stirring. Methods: The iM16K glass bubbles were used to prepare boron-doped B-TiO2/iM16K composite hollow spheres through a sol-gel route. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectrometry, and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. Photocatalytic degradation of azophloxine on the composites was determined. Results: The bandgap energy of the B-TiO2/iM16K composite was slightly less than 3.0 eV when the calcination temperature was below 500oC. The sample calcined at 350oC had a BET surface area of 88.6 m2 /g, while the value of the sample calcined at 800oC was 1.2 m2 /g. The maximum photocatalytic degradation efficiency was obtained for the sample calcined at 450oC, and nearly all of the original azophloxine molecules were decomposed after 120 min of irradiation. Photocatalytic degradation efficiency after 30 min of irradiation was enhanced from 18.8% to 47.9% when B-TiO2 dosage increased from 100 to 800 mg/L. Conclusion: Crystallization of anatase TiO2 was temperature dependent, and the properties of B-TiO2/iM16K composite hollow spheres were affected by phase composition of the boron-doped TiO2 layer. The change in calcination temperature can have significant effect on photocatalytic degradation of azophloxine. The production of hydroxyl radical depended on photocatalytic activity of the B-TiO2/iM16K composite hollow spheres.

Decolorization Efficiency

Supported Fe-doped TiO2 has been prepared by a sol-gel method through the use of porous diatomite. The synthesized Fe-doped TiO2/diatomite composites were characterized by SEM and EDX techniques. The composite presented in this study showed higher adsorption and photodegradation ability of Rhodamine B than TiO2/diatomite and diatomite. It was found that the decolorization efficiency were dependent on the operational parameters of pH, photocatalyst dosage and dye concentration, and about 85% of the initial 50 mg/L dye could be adsorbed and degraded in 240 min. Moreover, kinetic study indicated that the photocatalytic degradation process could be described by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.

Addition Amount

A porous SiO2-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared through co-sol-gel method used for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. PEG1000 was used as a template. Photocatalytic degradation was conducted after adsorption equilibrium to identify the contribution of both adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. While PEG addition ranged from 0.25 g to 1.0 g, the optimum addition amount was at 0.5 g. The degradation rate increased with increasing calcination temperature in the range from 400 to 500 oC, and then it decreased with still increasing temperature. The photocatalyst calcinated at 500 oC for 4 h could degrade 29.2% of the initial methyl orange in 30 min. Nearly 96.5% of decoloration of the initial methyl orange was removed in 100 min under UV light irradiation with the existence of the porous SiO2-doped TiO2.
