Synthesis and Adsorption Properties of Nano Al2O3/TiO2 by Hydrothermal Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using auminum nitrate nonahydrate and titanium dioxide nanowires as the main raw material, Al2O3/TiO2 composite powers were prepared by the hydrothermal method at 200 oC for 24 hours. And the samples are characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption and desorption. The results show that the samples are corundum and rutile, and specific surface area is nearly 155 m2/g. Otherwise we tested samples for adsorption capacity of Congo red at different times, temperature and initial concentration under visible light irradiation. We found that it is the maximum adsorption efficiency (~107 mg/g) at the temperature of 50 oC, within one hour to reach the adsorption saturation.
