A simple method for the preparation of a catalyst membrane from natural rubber with titanium dioxide and zeolite A was presented in this work. This simple method was based on the mixing TiO2 suspension (anatase phase), zeolite suspension in NH4OH with natural rubber latex and subsequently casting the mixture into membrane followed by drying at 50o¬¬C. The characteristics of the composite membrane was studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) techniques and mechanical properties measurements. The photocatalytic activity of the HANR/TiO2/ZA was evaluated using methylene blue (MB) as a model for organic dye pollutant in water. The results showed that the catalyst membrane prepared with a small amount of TiO2 together with Zeolite A could rapidly degrade MB dye solution in water under UV light irradiation. The effect of amount of Zeolite A on the degradation of MB was also investigated. Furthermore, we evaluated the reusability of the membrane and the result showed that the catalytic ability of the membrane on MB degradation decreased a little. The mechanical property of the catalyst membrane was slightly decreased after recycling.

Pre Treatment

A number of previous studies on titanium dioxide (TiO2) proven the presence of anatase has enhance hydroxyapatite (HAP) precipitation on TiO2surface which beneficial for biomedical usage especially in dental and orthopedics. The anatase phase of TiO2is an ideal photocatalyst agent. It helps to enhance the chemical reaction after irradiating with ultra violet (UV) light. The effect of UV light irradiation to the precipitation of HAP on TiO2surface while soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) increased the formation of HAP. UV light also can be applied as pre-treatment, where UV light was irradiating before SBF immersion.

In this work, rubber-TiO2-rGO (RT-rGO) composite sheets were successfully prepared by a simple latex mixing-casting method using TiO2 and natural rubber latex with different amounts of rGO loading. The prepared RT-rGO sheet samples were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman, SEM and EDS techniques. The photocatalytic properties of the prepared RT-rGO sheets as catalyst were evaluated using methylene blue (MB) dye solution under UV light irradiation. The result indicated that all the composite sheets loaded with rGO had better photocatalytic activities than the sheet without rGO loading. RT-rGO6.2% sheet showed the highest removal efficiency of 93.3% which has the rate constant (kapp) as 98.2 times higher than the unloaded sheet. Furthermore, the efficiency of the RT-rGO sheet upon the repeated usage was also studied. The result indicated that the sheet could be easily used, recovered and reused many times with no need for the cleaning in between successive uses. Thus, the RT-rGO sheet appears to be an attractive-material for the wastewater treatment or the water purification industry.

Opal as a carrier, tetrabutyl titanate as a titanium source, TiO2 loaded on opal was prepared by sol-gel technique. The photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM and UV-VIS absorption spectrum. Their photocatalytic activities were examined by the photocatalytic decolorization of methylene blue solution under UV light irradiation. The effects of calcination temperature, the amount of TiO2 loading and pH on photocatalytic activities were discussed. The results show that TiO2 supported on opal induced enhancement of photocatalytic decolorization rant and TiO2 doping is about 30 wt. % with 92.15% of decolorization rate at 700°C.

AbstractPhotocatalysis belongs to one of the Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP). These processes make possible the decomposition of organic compounds to carbon dioxide and water. The most useful photocatalyst is titanium dioxide which, to make it active, requires irradiation with suitable wavelengths. Pure titanium dioxide can be activated only by ultraviolet light irradiation (UV). For a long time, studies have been carried on modified titanium dioxide materials to obtain more effective photocatalysts with greater activity under UV light irradiation or to obtain photocatalysts which may be active also under visible light irradiation. One of the possible ways for modifying TiO

Large amounts of SnO2 nanospheres are successfully synthesized through a simple and effective hydrothermal method. The as-synthesized products consist of numerous small SnO2 nanocrystals with an average diameter of 40 nm. The as-prepared SnO2 nanospheres are further used as the photocatalysts for photodegrading several organic dyes (methylene blue, methyl orange, Congo red, and rhodamine B) under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic results show that the as-synthesized SnO2 nanospheres possess high photocatalytic activities. Compared with the degradation rates of other dyes, that of methylene blue reaches 98.5% by 30 min irradiation. It reveals that the as-prepared product might be potential candidate in wastewater purification.

This study involves the investigation of altering the photocatalytic activity of TiO2using composite materials. Three different forms of modified TiO2, namely, TiO2/activated carbon (AC), TiO2/carbon (C), and TiO2/PANi, were compared. The TiO2/carbon composite was obtained by pyrolysis of TiO2/PANi prepared by in situ polymerization method, while the TiO2/activated carbon (TiO2/AC) was obtained after treating TiO2/carbon with 1.0 M KOH solution, followed by calcination at a temperature of 450°C. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET), and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to characterize and evaluate the prepared samples. The specific surface area was determined to be in the following order: TiO2/AC > TiO2/C > TiO2/PANi > TiO2(179 > 134 > 54 > 9 m2 g−1). The evaluation of photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation was also of the same order, with 98 > 84.7 > 69% conversion rate, which is likely to be attributed to the porosity and synergistic effect in the prepared samples.

Abstract Tannins are recalcitrant polyphenolic molecules that resist microbial attack. Their main environmental damage is due to their low biodegradability. This work aims to investigate the photo-catalytic degradation of two commercial tannin extracts, chestnut (hydrolysable tannin) and mimosa (condensed tannin). The experiments were carried out under UV-light irradiation in a continuous-flow reactor using titanium dioxide (TiO2) immobilized on cellulosic fibers. It was highlighted that photo-catalytic degradation is unfavourable in acidic medium and when the pH is too high (pH above 12); it reaches its maximum efficiency at pH 7.5 (99 and 97% for chestnut and mimosa, respectively). Nearly complete degradation of tannins requires an irradiation period of 6 h. The process efficiency is inversely affected by the concentration of tannins essentially above 75 mg/L for chestnut and 60 mg/L for mimosa. Above 240 mL/min, any increase in feed flow negatively affects the performance of the process. Furthermore, a significant decrease of treatment efficiency was seen when increasing the concentration of ethanol and salts in the medium. Obtained results suggest that UV-light irradiation in a continuous-flow photo-reactor using immobilized TiO2 may be considered as an adequate process for the treatment of water containing recalcitrant tannin molecules.
