Degradation of Humic Acid Using a CdS/TiO2 Nanotubes Electrode

Article Preview

Abstract:

Use NH4F as the electrolyte, prepared TiO2 nanotubes which orderly arranged by anodic oxidation. CdS was load to the TiO2-nanotubes by using chemical deposition method, then controlled size of CdS particles and uniformly load had been found when the EDTA-2NA was mixed in. The structure and morphology of TiO2 nanotubes and modified TiO2 nanotubes were observed by SEM. Use humic acid as simulate pollutant, investigate the efficiency of the CdS / TiO2nanotubes photocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds .The results show that CdS modified TiO2nanotubes arrays after added EDTA-2NA, the degradation rate of humic acid increased from 57.1 % to 85.4 % after illumination.
