Abstract:

For the purpose of obtaining the high-efficiency TiO2 photocatalyst carrier, the mechanism and influences of different substrates on photocatalytic activities of TiO2 membranes were investigated. Three kinds of membranes TiO2/Al2O3/Al, TiO2/Al and TiO2/glass were prepared using the dip-coating method. Methyl orange solution with pH=3 and initial concentration 20 mg/L was degraded under the UV irradiated for 2 h with three membranes. The discoloring ratios are 74.7%, 59.1%, 52.6% respectively after 1h, and become above 96% after 2 h. It indicates that Al and Al2O3/Al as carriers are able to enhance photocatalytic activities to some extent, while glass just as carrier that have no influence.
