Synthesis of effective titania nanotubes for wastewater purification

Fabrication of titania nanotubular film with metal nanoparticles

“…These dimensional properties of the self-organized TiO 2 nanotubular film, shown in Fig. 1, and the morphologies of the anodic titania layers are strongly dependent on the anodizing conditions [8,9], i.e., applied potentials, electrolyte, and temperature. In order to investigate the effects of annealing on the crystal structure, the anodic titania nanotube film was annealed at 5501C for 1 h and the crystalline structure was examined.…”

“…Palladium acetate (aldrich product 205869, Pd(OAc) 2 , 99.9%), silver acetate (Kojima Chemical Reagents Inc., AgC 2 H 3 O 2 , 99.0%), and PLA were selected as starting materials. The dye decomposition reactions for photocatalytic efficiency of anodic TiO 2 film were evaluated using aniline blue [8].…”

Photocatalytic characteristics of boron and nitrogen doped titania film synthesized by micro-arc oxidation

“…Therefore, from the results of the photocurrent response, it can be expected that B,N co-doped TiO 2 sample would show higher photocatalytic activity, compared to other TiO 2 samples. The photocatalytic kinetics and rate constant of these TiO 2 photocatalysts have been reported by several research groups [30,[55][56][57], and they were also explained in terms of first 1 4 order reaction rate [58][59]. Therefore, the kinetic constants during the degradation of aniline blue can be calculated by using the first order reaction rate, and the change of concentration with reaction time can be written as Eq.…”

Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes by a High Efficient TiO2-Based Catalysts Under Solar Light Irradiation

“…The effluents of textile industry has caused severe environmental problems and attracted considerable research interests [1][2][3][4][5]. A wide range of wastewater treatment techniques have been suggested, among which the photocatalysis technology is alternative for high concentration and nonbiodegradable pollution [6].…”
