TiO2-pearlstone (PS) floatable photocatalysts were synthesized using a facile sol-gel method and confirmed by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, EDX, TEM, FT-IR, XPS, and UV-vis DRS measurements. It has been found that the photocatalysts composed of anatase TiO2 deposited on the surface of PS and formed mesoporous structure. By N or B/N doping, the band gap of the photocatalyst has been narrowed. The obtained floatable photocatalysts can be applied to solar light-driven remediation of oil-contaminated water. Diesel oil was chosen as the model pollutant to evaluate the photocatalytic activity. The results showed B/N-TiO2-PS exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity for diesel oil under visible light irradiation, which is 48 % removal rate for 9 h. The reaction rate constant k of B/N-TiO2-PS is 0.08423 h(-1), which is four times larger than that of pure TiO2-PS. Moreover, the characteristic of floatable makes the photocatalysts easier to separate and reuse, which showed great potential for practical applications in the field of environmental cleanup and solar energy conversion.
采用简便的溶胶 - 凝胶法合成了TiO₂ - 珍珠岩(PS)可漂浮光催化剂,并通过XRD、N₂吸附 - 脱附、SEM、EDX、TEM、FT - IR、XPS和UV - vis DRS测量进行了表征。研究发现,光催化剂由沉积在PS表面的锐钛矿型TiO₂组成,并形成了介孔结构。通过N或B/N掺杂,光催化剂的带隙变窄。所制备的可漂浮光催化剂可用于太阳光驱动的含油污水修复。选择柴油作为模型污染物来评估光催化活性。结果表明,B/N - TiO₂ - PS在可见光照射下对柴油表现出最高的光催化活性,9小时的去除率为48%。B/N - TiO₂ - PS的反应速率常数k为0.08423 h⁻¹,是纯TiO₂ - PS的四倍。此外,可漂浮的特性使光催化剂更易于分离和重复使用,在环境净化和太阳能转换领域具有巨大的实际应用潜力。
