Comparative Study on the Effect of Preparation of TiO2 and the Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenol Based on the Biological Template

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study combines the template method and sol-gel method, prepares TiO2 photocatalytic materials with the cotton, leaves and towel gourd as the template, and then makes degradation of phenol in ultraviolet light with the prepared TiO2 photocatalysts. The results show that all the photocatalyst prepared with three kinds of templates have high photocatalytic activity, among which, the catalytic performance of cotton is better, leaves secondly, and towel gourd’s relatively poor. With cotton as templates for the preparation of TiO2 under UV irradiation for 6h, the degradation rate was 80%, leaves as template for the preparation of TiO2 under UV irradiation for 6h, the degradation rate was 63%, and with towel gourd as template for the preparation of TiO2 under UV irradiation for 6h, the degradation rate was 52%.
