Abstract-In this study, the TiO 2 immobilized on fiberglass cloth was prepared to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 and overcome the difficulty of reuse through a set of different procedures. The microstructure and morphology of TiO 2 loaded on FGC were characterized via SEM and XRD, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 -fiberglass specimens was assessed by the yield of hydroxyl radicals and the extent to which humic acid (HA) was photodegraded in a small reactor. The result revealed that (i)the crystalline structure of immobilized TiO 2 was nearly unchanged compared with pure P25 nanoparticles. (ii)the TiO 2 -fiberglass specimens prepared by PA and HY procedures resulted in more TiO 2 particles loading on FGC and exhibited better photocatalytic activity than by SG procedure. (iii)The steady state concentration of hydroxyl radicals in the photocatalytic system was obtained as 1.11×10 -14 mol.L -1 . (iv)The TiO 2 -fiberglass specimens prepared by HY procedure exhibited good photocatalytic activity on HA degradation.
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.
