Photocatalytic degradation of gaseous toluene by using immobilized titania/silica on aluminum sheets

Purpose

The aim of this study was to prepare a highly active immobilized titania/silica photocatalyst and to test its performance in situ toward degradation of toluene as one of the major toxic indoor contaminants.

Methods

In this work, two different titania layers immobilized on Al sheets were synthesized via low temperature sol?Cgel method employing presynthesized highly active titania powders (Degussa P25 and Millennium PC500, mass ratio 1:1): (a) with a silica/titania binder and a protective layer and (b) without the binder. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen sorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy, and UV?Cvis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The in situ photocatalytic degradation of gaseous toluene was selected as a probe reaction to test photocatalytic activity and to verify the potential application of these materials for air remediation.

Results

Results show that nontransparent highly photocatalytically active coatings based on the silica/titania binder and homogeneously dispersed TiO₂ powders were obtained on the Al sheets. The crystalline structure of titania was not altered upon addition of the binder, which also prevented inhomogeneous agglomeration of particles on the photocatalyst surface. The photoactivity results indicate that the adsorption properties and photocatalytic activity of immobilized photocatalysts with the silica/titania binder and an underlying protective layer were very effective and additionally, they exhibited considerably improved adhesion and uniformity.

Conclusion

We present a new highly photocatalytically active immobilized catalyst on a convenient metallic support, which has a potential application in an air cleaning device.     

Catalytic oxidation for air pollution control

Bench-scale experiments have been conducted to evaluate a series of titania-supported Pt-Pd (as oxides) catalysts in the presence and absence of MoO₃ and Fe₂O₃ additives for their effectiveness in the complete catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air likely to be found in waste gases. Under oxidizing conditions, all of the catalysts promoted the complete oxidation of VOCs to CO₂ and H₂O. 99 % Conversion was achieved with a C₂H₄-C₂H₆ gas mixture in air at temperatures between about 160–450 °C and at a space velocity of 20,000 h^?1. Oxidation activity for the titania supported catalysts were found to decrease in the order Pt-Pd-Mo-Fe > Pt-Pd-Mo > Pt-Pd-Fe > Pt-Pd. However, the addition of MoO₃ and Fe₂O₃ increase the catalyst activity and reduce the reaction temperature for the complete destruction. Ageing was also performed in order to study the stability of the most active catalyst. Pt-Pd-Mo-Fe (as oxides) on titania catalyst is effective in oxidizing a wide range of volatile organic compounds at relatively low temperatures (220–405 °C) and and at a space velocity of 40,000 h^?1 and is resistant to poisoning by halogenated and amine volatile organic compounds.     

Catalytic wet-air oxidation of a chemical plant wastewater over platinum-based catalysts.

Catalytic wet-air oxidation (CWAO) of wastewater (chemical oxygen demand [COD] = 1800 mg O2/dm3) from a fine chemicals plant was investigated in a fixed-bed reactor at T = 393-473 K under total pressure of 5.0 or 8.0 MPa. Catalysts containing 0.3% wt. of platinum deposited on two supports, mixed silica-titania (SM1) and carbon black composites (CBC) were used. The CBC-supported catalyst appeared to be more active than the SM1-supported one. A slow decrease of activity of the platinum on SM1 (Pt-SM1) during the long-term operation is attributed to recrystallization of titania and leaching of a support component, while the Pt-CBC catalyst is deteriorated, owing to combustion of the support component. The power-law-kinetic equations were used to describe the rate of COD removal at CWAO over the catalysts. The kinetic parameters of COD reduction for the wastewater were determined and compared with the kinetic parameters describing phenol oxidation over the same catalysts. Rates of COD removal for the wastewater were found higher than those for phenol oxidation over the same catalysts and under identical operating conditions.

Photocatalytic degradation of azo dyes by nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanocatalysts

This study examined the photocatalytic degradation of three azo dyes, acid orange 7 (AO7), procion red MX-5B (MX-5B) and reactive black 5 (RB5) using a new type of nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanocrystals. These newly developed doped titania nanocatalysts demonstrated high reactivity under visible light (lambda>390 nm), allowing more efficient usage of solar light. The doped titania were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Experiments were conducted to compare the photocatalytic activities of nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanocatalysts and commercially available Degussa P25 powder using both UV illumination and solar light. It is shown that nitrogen-doped TiO2 after calcination had the highest photocatalytic activity among all three catalysts tested, with 95% of AO7 decolorized in 1 h under UV illumination. The doped TiO2 also exhibited substantial photocatalytic activity under direct sunlight irradiation, with 70% of the dye color removed in 1h and complete decolorization within 3 h. Degussa P25 did not cause detectable dye decolorization under identical experimental conditions using solar light. The decrease of total organic carbon (TOC) and evolution of inorganic sulfate (SO4(2-)) ions in dye solutions were measured to monitor the dye mineralization process.

Removal of nitrogenous compounds by catalytic wet air oxidation. Kinetic study

Aqueous wastes containing organic pollutants can be efficiently treated by wet air oxidation (WAO), i.e. oxidation by molecular oxygen in the liquid phase, under high temperature (200-325 degrees C) and pressure (up to 150 bar). However, organic nitrogen can be relatively resistant to oxidation and can be harmful to the environment. In the course of treatment, organic nitrogen (N-Org) is converted into ammonia (NH(3)), while organic carbon (C-Org) is converted mainly into carbon dioxide (CO(2)). This can be done without catalysts. In the presence of Mn/Ce composite oxides, it is possible to transform ammonia into molecular nitrogen at a temperature close to 260 degrees C. The direct conversion of organic nitrogen into molecular nitrogen also can be achieved using the same catalyst. This paper discusses the results obtained during the treatment of nitrogenous compounds like aniline, nitrophenol, beta-alanine and ammonia. Laboratory investigations were conducted in a stirred batch reactor with Mn/Ce composite oxides as catalysts. Very limited amounts of nitrites and nitrates were observed with amines, but more significant quantities were found with nitro-compounds. The kinetics of oxidation of ammonia, organic compounds, and more particularly aniline, were investigated. The treatment of a real waste (process wastewater) was also investigated. The dependence of the transformation rate on various parameters (amount of catalyst, temperature, etc.) was established. The rates of oxidation are described by first-order kinetic laws with respect to the various nitrogen species (aniline, NH(3)). Several parallel pathways are considered for the transformation of organic nitrogen, amongst which is an interaction with the catalyst surface. The orders with respect to oxygen and catalyst are established.     

Effect of water composition on the photocatalytic removal of pesticides with different TiO2 catalysts

The objective of this work is double—firstly to explore the photocatalytic efficiency of five different commercial TiO₂ catalysts in the photodegradation of a mixture of pesticides classified by the EU as priority pollutants and secondly to analyze the correlation between their physicochemical properties and the inhibition of the studied photocatalytic process when natural water was employed. Photocatalytic efficiencies when ultrapure water was used seem to point out that surface area was not a prerequisite for the photodegradation of the selected mixture of pesticides. On the other hand, significant differences in total organic carbon (TOC) conversions were obtained with the two studied water compositions. On one side, Evonik materials appear to be mostly inhibited when natural water was employed, whereas on the other, it should be remarked that anatase Sigma-Aldrich (SA) and, particularly, Hombikat UV100 (HBK) materials presented a very limited photo-efficiency inhibition or even a higher initial rate of TOC removal when a natural water matrix was used, probably due to their specific surface properties (PZC, S _BET). Therefore, heterogeneous photocatalysis has proved to be a promising technology for the degradation of the selected mixture of pesticides where the final photo-efficiency of the five commercial titania catalysts studied here responds to a complex balance between its surface and structural properties.     

Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of VOCs using Ln3+-TiO2 catalysts for indoor air purification

Two types of lanthanide ion-doped titanium dioxide (Ln3+-TiO2) catalysts including La3+-TiO2 and Nd3+-TiO2 were prepared by a sol-gel method. The effects of the lanthanide ion doping on the crystal structure, surface area, adsorption properties, pore size distribution, and surface chemical state of the catalysts were investigated by means of XRD, BET, and XPS. As results, the crystal size decreased significantly, while the specific surface area, t-plot total surface area, micropore volume, and the total pore volume increased owing to the lanthanide ion doping. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms of the catalysts showed that the N2 adsorption ability of the Ln3+-TiO2 catalysts was better than the TiO2 catalyst. Among them, the 0.7% Ln3+-TiO2 catalysts demonstrated the highest adsorption ability. The photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was investigated in the experiments of the photocatalytic degradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene (BTEX) in a gaseous phase. The photocatalytic efficiency of the TiO2 catalysts with the lanthanide ion doping was remarkably enhanced by BTEX removal. The 1.2% Ln3+-TiO2 catalysts achieved the highest photocatalytic activity. The enhanced photodegradation of BTEX is possibly due to the improved adsorption ability and the enhanced electron-hole pairs separation due to the presence of Ti3+ on the surface of Ln3+-TiO2 catalysts and the electron transfer between the conduction band/defect level and lanthanide crystal field state.
