Performance of Bi_(20)TiO_(32) for Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants in Water

摘要

The factors that influence the performance of Bi_(20)TiO_(32) were discussed, and the removal of TOC in the analogue waste water was also examined. The shorter the light wavelength or the more the intensity, the more efficient the photocatalytic process. Different substance has different optimum pH for being photodegraded by photocatalyst Bi_(20)TiO_(32), which may be related with its surface charge. Aeration have little benefit for decomposing the organics. Some organics like methyl orange and phenol can be photodegraded by Bi_(20)TiO_(32) completely. Bi_(20)TiO_(32) has visible-light activity for the degradation of organics.
