The P25 TiO 2 /4-chlorophenol photocatalytic system: Spectral sensitivity or lamp artefact?

Capability of coupled CdSe/TiO(2) for photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorophenol.

The photocatalytic process using TiO(2) and coupled semiconductor in the photodegradation reaction of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) was investigated. Nanosized titanium dioxide powder was synthesized via the sol-gel procedure and modified via the coupled photocatalysts. The microstructural and chemical properties of TiO(2) and coupled CdSe/TiO(2) were also examined. For CdSe/TiO(2) samples, the specifi...

Photocatalytic Degradation of 4-Chlorophenol. 2. The 4-Chlorocatechol Pathway

The TiO2-mediated photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorocatechol is studied as a branch of the degradation of 4-chlorophenol. In addition to some basic kinetic studies, the identities of many of the cyclic and acyclic intermediates, verified in most cases with authentic samples, are reported. From 4-chlorocatechol, the major product is hydroxylation to form 5-chloro-1,2,4-benzenetriol. A small ...

PHOTOCATALYTIC DEGRADATION OF 2-CHLOROPHENOL BY TiO2: KINETIC STUDIES

Kinetic studies of 2-chlorophenol photocatalytic degradation are carried out in a batch stirred built in quartz laboratory scale, using TiO2 as catalyst photoactived with ultraviolet light. Experimental design is performed using as independent variables or factors: catalyst concentration, catalyst calcinations temperature and initial concentration of 2-chlorophenol, to establish the best condit...

Bactericidal Activity of Photocatalytic TiO

Analysis of photocatalytic reactions using a TiO(2) immobilized microreactor.

We have developed an analysis system for photocatalytic reactions, which utilizes a TiO(2) immobilized micro-capillary and a detection technique for dye concentration at arbitrary positions. In this study, we investigated the reaction processes for the photocatalytic decomposition of rhodamine 6G. This system allows the distinction of direct and secondary photocatalytic reactions under the same...
