Anodized Titanium with Aqueous Based Electrolyte for Waste Water Treatment
Abstract:
Titanium dioxide nanotubes on titanium surface were prepared by electrolytic anodization in aqueous solution at constant voltages at room temperature for 2, 4 and 6 hours. Anodized titanium was heat treated in a furnace at 450 °C for 4 hours to convert amorphous structure to anatase and rutile crystalline structure. A scanning electron microscope was utilized for morphology investigation of the anodized titanium surfaces. For HF containing water media, porous surface on titanium was revealed after anodizing for 2 hours. Nanotubes (NT) were formed in this media at 4 and 6 hours anodizing time, the diameters of the tubes were approximately 70 to 100 nm. For HF/Na2SO4 aqueous solution, fine NTs, approximately 50 nm in diameter, were grown after 2 hours. However, the NTs obtained at anodizing time 4 and 6 hours were the same size, ranging from 100 to 120 nm. Anatase and rutile phases of TiO2 were formed in the anodized samples after annealing at 450 °C for 4 hours. The anodized samples were tested for their abilities to degrade Rhodamine B, to demonstrate their application as a material for waste water treatment. The Rhodamine B was degraded up to 41% in annealed sample anodized by electrolyte contained HF.
