Evaluation and Suppression of Microcystis aeruginosa by Photocatalyst Coatings with Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity

Abstract:

Photocatalyst coatings had been successfully fabricated by molten salt treatment at 673 K for 3 h for titanium (Ti) coatings, which coated on alumina (Al₂O₃) balls by mechanical coating technique with Ti powder. The influence of molten salt treatment on the formed compounds, surface morphology and photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation on degradation of MB solution and suppression of Microcystis aeruginosa of photocatalyst coatings was investigated. XRD results show that potassium titanate (K₂Ti₆O₁₃) forms on the surface of Ti coatings during molten salt treatment. The visible light photocatalytic activity of photocatalyst coatings has been effectively enhanced by molten salt treatment.
