Degradation of Indoor Ammonia Using TiO2 Thin Film Doped with Iron(III) under Visible Light Illumination

Article Preview

Abstract:

A type of titania thin film doped with iron(III) was prepared by means of sol-gel method to degrade indoor ammonia (NH3) under visible light irradiation. The photocatalysts was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that the adsorption edge of doped TiO2 thin film had red shifts and the doped TiO2 thin film had a stronger absorption than undoped TiO2 thin film in the visible region. Doping amount of Fe(III) effected the photocatalytic actitivity of Fe-doped TiO2 thin film significantly. The optimal doping amount of Fe(III) was 1%(mole fraction). Using the optimal Fe-doped TiO2 thin film, the removal percentage of NH3 after 9h phtocatalytic reaction under visible light reached 53.1%. The degradation reaction of NH3 was successfully described by the pseudo first-order kinetics. The reaction rate constant decreased with the increase of initial concentration of NH3, which reflected that there was oxidation competition between NH3 and its intermediate during the photocatalytic process.
