To reduce a film-diffusional resistance in the very vicinity of the photocatalyst surface, titanium oxide particles containing a small amount of adsorbent particles (310 %) are immobilized on a stainless steel screen by a spraying method and its performance is investigated by decomposing 2,4-dinitrophenol in water. It is found that the activity of this photocatalyst screen is higher than that o...

A dressed-phonon-phonon (DPP) assisted photocatalyst reaction was carried out to increase the visible light responsibility, where the photon energy of the radiation, which ranged from visible to infrared light is less than band gap energy of the photocatalyst (ZnO, 3.3 eV). The dependence of the photocurrent on excitation power indicated that two-step excitation occurred in DPP-assisted process...

comaring the capability of photocatalyst nano zinc oxide process by two slurry and immobilized methods in dye acid orange 7 removal introduction everyday million liters of color wastewater are produced in different industries and cuases environmental problems. the textile industry significantly affects the environment, producing high volume of wastewater from water and chemicals used in process...

Nickel oxide (NiO) nano-size powder is synthesized using nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and ammonia as precursors. Applied surfactant is anionic surfactant. The sample was characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results obtained confirm the presence of nickel oxide nano-powders produced during chemical precipitation...

The photocatalytic oxidation of gaseous chlorobenzene (CB) by the 365nm-induced photocatalyst La/N-TiO2, synthesized via a sol-gel and hydrothermal method, was evaluated. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to model and optimize the conditions for synthesis of the photocatalyst. The optimal photocatalyst was 1.2La/0.5N-TiO2 (0.5) and the effects of La/N on crystalline structure, particl...
