金属掺杂二氧化钛光催化还原硝酸氮

采用光沉积法制备了负载金属Fe或Cu的P25二氧化钛光催化剂,用TEM、ICP、XRD及UV-Vis等对其进行了表征,并测定其在20 W紫外灯照射下光催化还原硝酸氮、去除总氮的效果;考察了pH值、搅拌气体、金属的负载量、空穴清除剂甲酸的用量以及金属Ag-Cu复合沉积等条件的影响.反应2 h的结果表明,二氧化钛上载铜量增加,硝酸氮转化率随之增加,但最大总氮去除率和氮气选择性均出现在0.5%Cu负载量下;氮气搅拌和酸性条件下反应,形成氮气的选择性略低(62%),但最高的硝酸氮转化率和总氮去除率分别达到36.9%和23.2%;CO2作为搅拌气体.Cu的负载量为0.5%、甲酸用量为0.06 mol/L时.形成氮气选择性最好(88.4%).硝酸氮转化率和总氮去除率分别为29.5%和25.1%.同样条件下,采用二氧化钛上共沉积金属总质量分数为1%、Ag:Cu=1:1的催化剂,硝酸氮的转化率可达48.1%,总氮去除率为34.2%,氮气选择性为72.2%.

Photocatalytic Reduction of Nitrate Using Metal-doped Titania

Abstract: Metal Fe or Cu doped P25 titania was prepared using the photodeposition method and characterized by TEM, ICP, XRD and UV-Vis, further tested for photocatalytic nitrate reduction and TN removal, under 20W UV lamp irradiation. The influencing factors such as the pH values of solution, stirring gas, metal loadings, hole scavenger formic acid amount and co-doped Ag-Cu/TiO2 are investigated and discussed in detail. The experimental results after 2 h reaction indicated that with the increase of Cu loadings, nitrate conversion increases too, while a loading of 0.5% is optimal for highest N2 selectivity and TN(total nitrogen) removal. Using N2 as stirring gas and under acidic conditions, the N2 selectivity is lower (62%), but the highest conversion of nitrate and removal of TN can reach 36.9% and 23.2% respectively. Using CO2 as stirring gas, the highest selectivity for nitrogen 88.4% is obtained with 0.5% Cu/TiO2, 0.06mol/L formic acid. Under the same conditions, using the prepared bimetallic titania (1%, 1:1 Ag/Cu), the conversion of nitrate and removal of TN are 48.1%, 34.2%, and N2 selectivity is 72.2%.
