Preparation of TiO2/Black Talc Composite Photocatalyst and the Research on Its Adsorption-Degradation Coupling Effects

Abstract

In this paper, a TiO2/black talc composite photocatalyst was prepared by the sol-gel method using TBOT as titanium source and black talc as carrier. Rhodamine B was used as the targeted pollutant to study the adsorption role of carbon in black talc. The results showed that with the adsorption-degradation cycles, the illumination time can be reduced by 40%. The adsorption rate and degradation rate of the composite photocatalyst was also increased. The degradation rate of Rhodamine B reached more than 95%, which fully shows the synergistic effect between TiO2 nanoparticles and black talc. In this way, the adsorption-degradation coupling of the photocatalyst could be realized.

Nonmetallic Mineral as the Carrier of TiO2 Photocatalyst: A Review

“…The author prepares a titanium dioxide/black talc composite photocatalyst using black talc as a carrier, implements the indirect light degradation method, and completely exploits the adsorption-degradation coupling of black talc, which greatly reduces the time of light. Figure 7 shows schematic diagram of photocatalytic performance enhancement mechanism of TiO 2 /Black Talc composite material (Shuai et al, 2021).…”
