Using Ti (OC4H9)4 as the precursor,and GAC as carrier, making use of technology of hydrolyzation and natural assembling,TiO2/GAC composite material was preparated at the lower temperature.The characterization of obtained TiO2 /Coconut-Activated Carbon’scrystal structure and appearance by XRD and SEM.The adsorption capacity and photocatalytic performance on phenol were measured.Results show that TiO2/GAC surface was well-distributed and remains a little interspace.A nanocrystal TiO2 aerogel size is without 30nm.The sample shows lower adsorption compared to GAC.But photocatalytic efficiency was higher than GAC under the exposure of the sunlight or the violet.
TiO2photocatalytic technology was developed in the past two decades in air treatment because of good photocatalytic effect, non-toxic, chemical stability, low cost, reusable features, the effect use of solar energy. A new composite materials of visible light photocatalytic degradation of low concentration of volatile organic compounds were produced by use of combining the adsorbent with TiO2photocatalytic technology.The adsorbent can enrich concentrations of volatile organic compounds on the surface of the TiO2photocatalyst. In this paper,the mechanism of the combined adsorption-photocatalysis for the removal of volatile organic compounds and immobilization methods、principle、craft were reviewed.The characteristic of the immobilization methods was analysed.It laid the foundation for the optimizing of the immobilization methods and the improving of the photocatalytic efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
