Abstract

This study focuses on the removal of water-suspended toluene of a representative sick house compounds in a liquid photo-system using nanometer-sized Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ which was synthesized by a solvothermal method. The characteristics of the synthesized Sn-$TiO_2$ were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). To estimate the photocatalytic activity of Sn-$TiO_2$, the photodegradation of water-suspended toluene was performed, and the remaining concentration was determined using UV-visible spectroscopy. The water-suspended toluene photodegradation over Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ catalyst was better than that over pure $TiO_2$ (anatase). The water-suspended toluene of 500 ppm was perfectly decomposed within 300 minutes over 0.01 mol% Sn-$TiO_2$.

본 연구에서는 새집증후군의 대표적 원인물질인 수중 부유 톨루엔을 효율적으로 분해하기 위해 Sn원소를 티타니아 골격에 삽입하여 고온 고압에서 용매열(solvothermal)법으로 Sn-$TiO_2$ 나노 광촉매를 제조하였다. 제조한 Sn-$TiO_2$의 물리적 특성은 X-ray 회절분석법, 투과전자현미경, 주사전자현미경, 자외선-가시선 분광 광도계를 통하여 분석하였다. Sn-$TiO_2$의 광촉매 활성은 수중 부유 톨루엔 광분해반응을 통해 확인하였고, 반응 전후의 수중 부유 톨루엔 농도는 자외선-가시선 분광광도계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 수중 부유 톨루엔 광분해반응 결과 0.01 mol% Sn-$TiO_2$촉매가 순수 $TiO_2$ (anatase) 광촉매보다 활성이 향상되었으며. 500ppm 수중 부유 톨루엔은 300분 이내에 완전히 분해되었다.
