Preparation and Photocatalytic Properties of Iron Titanate Compounds

Article Preview

Abstract:

Iron titanate photocatalysts were synthesized by the high-energy ball milling method with titanium ore as the starting material. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), thermal gravity and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), UV-visible diffuse reflectance absorption spectra (UV-Vis), photoluminescence emission spectra (PL) and photocatalytic degradation measurement were conducted to characterize the structure, surface status, UV-visible light response and performance of the obtained sample. After low temperature calcination (above 400 oC), the photocatalytic activity of iron titanate catalyst decreased gradually, which was mainly due to the decrease of surface hydroxyls and reactant adsorption capability.
