双酚A(BPA)是一种典型的内分泌干扰物,其处理技术的开发对环境治理和人类健康都非常重要.以氙灯为模拟太阳光光源,掺铁Ti O2纳米管阵列(Fe/TNA)为光阳极,对BPA进行光电催化降解实验研究.通过场发射扫描电镜、X射线衍射以及紫外-可见漫反射表征Fe/TNA的形貌、物相和光吸收性能.结果表明,与纯Ti O2纳米管阵列(TNA)相比,Fe/TNA光吸收边界发生红移,在可见光区的吸收增强.考察Fe掺杂量、电流密度、不同阴极材料下曝气速率等因素对光电催化降解BPA的影响.结果表明,降解反应符合准一级反应动力学方程,在以0.9 mol·L-1Fe(NO3)3浸渍改性的Fe/TNA为光阳极、钛箔为阴极,电流密度为1.15 m A·cm-2的条件下反应4 h,10 mg·L-1BPA降解率可达72.3%,反应速率常数为5.32×10-3min-1,分别是以TNA为光阳极时的1.24倍和1.52倍;曝气可提升光电催化降解BPA的效果,以钛箔为阴极,曝气速率为1.0 L·min-1和以碳布为阴极,曝气速率为0.2 L·min-1条件下降解4 h,BPA的降解率分别可达82.7%和94.1%,反应速率常数分别为7.20×10-3min-1和11.6×10-3min-1.

Photoelectrocatalytic Degradation of Bisphenol A in Water by Fe Doped-TiO2 Nanotube Arrays Under Simulated Solar Light Irradiation

Seeking an efficient treatment method for bisphenol A (BPA), a representative endocrine disrupting compound, is important for environmental remediation and human health. Herein, the degradation of BPA by means of photoelectrocatalysis was investigated. Fe doped-TiO₂ nanotube arrays (Fe/TNA) served as the photoanode, and a xenon lamp simulated the solar light source. First, undoped TiO₂ nanotube arrays (TNA) and a series of Fe/TNA were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The UV-Vis absorption spectra of Fe/TNA showed a red-shift and an enhancement of the absorption in the visible-light region compared to TNA. Then, experimental conditions including Fe doping content, current intensity and aeration rate were varied to demonstrate their effects on the elimination of BPA. It was observed that the degradation of BPA could be fitted to the quasi-first-order equation. Under the following conditions: Fe/TNA prepared by 0.9 mol·L^-1 Fe(NO₃)₃ solution dip-coating as photoanode, titanium foil as cathode, current intensity of 1.15 mA·cm^-2 and initial BPA concentration of 10 mg·L^-1, 72.3% BPA was decomposed during 4 h reaction, with a rate constant of 5.32×10^-3 min^-1. Aeration enhanced the removal rate of BPA to 82.7% and 94.1% with an aerating rate of 1.0 L·min^-1 using titanium foil as cathode and an aerating rate of 0.2 L·min^-1 using carbon cloth as cathode, respectively, and the corresponding rate constants were 7.20×10^-3 min^-1 and 11.6×10^-3 min^-1, respectively.
