Based on the light stability and high photocatalysis properties, nanometer titanium dioxide has become a highlight to treat many kinds of organic contaminants in waste water.This technology is a promising process for wastewater detoxification.However,only the ultraviolet light which wavelength less than 387nm can be used by TiO2. The utilization efficiency of solar energy is very low.So people make a lot of changes to expand the light absorption range of TiO2 to visible region.Most methods that in common using are dye sensitization, semiconductor composition,metal ion doping,nonmetal doping and so on.Three types of TiO2 powders were employed as TiO2 photocatalysts in this paper:anatase,rutile and Degussa P25.TiO2-H2O2 photo-Fenton system is formed by surface absorption of H2O2 which extend the photoresponse of TiO2 to visible region.The photocatalytic of TiO2 and the catalytic reaction mechanism of TiO2-H2O2 photo-Fenton system under visible light irradiation are studied.Fe doping rutile TiO2 is made on this basis.The main study of this thesis include following:(1)The visible light which wavelength longer than 400nm is used as light source.The photocatalytic of three types of TiO2 in TIO2-O2 and TiO2-H2O2 system are studied when reactive brilliant red X-3B and phenol are used as model contamination.Anatase TiO2 and P25 have better performance when photodegradation of X-3B in TiO2-O2 system. However,phenol can't be photodecomposed by all three types of TiO2 in this system.Both X-3B and phenol can be decomposed in TiO2-H2O2 photo-Fenton system under visible light irradiation.Rutile TiO2 has the best activity on photodegradation of phenol in TiO2-H2O2 system and the optimal pH in this system is about 3.(2)The photocatalytic reaction mechanism of TiO2-H2O2 system under visible light irradiation are studied.Analysis test methods like fluorescence spectrophotometer,UV-Vis spectrophotometer,high performance liquid chromatographic are used in the study.The effects of adsorbent CO32- and hydroxyl free radical inhibitor(tert-butyl alcohol and methanol) on photodegradation of phenol and X-3B are studied.Two possible photocatalysis reaction mechanism of TiO2-H2O2 system are proposed.Surface oxidation mechanism:The light absorption ranges of TiO2 are expanding to visible region after H2O2 adsorbed.H2O2 can be photodegradated by TiO2 under visible light irradiation.Reactive materials like surface hydroxyl free radical and O2·- are formed on the surface of anatase TiO2 and the pollutants adsorbed on the surface of anatase are photodecomposed.Solution oxidation mechanism:The adsorption structure of H2O2 formed on the surface of rutile TiO2 can produce hydroxyl free radicals which can dissolve into the solution and react with the pollutants in the solution.(3)Fe doped rutile TiO2 is made by soakage when FeC2O4 used as Fe source.The amount of Fe doped,crystalline structure and the granular of Fe doped TiO2 are detailed analyzed and tokened.The photocatalytic activity of rutile TiO2 are remarkably advanced after Fe doped.The catalyst calcined at 673K has the best performance and holding the catalytic activity as the first time used when recycling use of it in the fifth time.
