Titania is widely used as an effective photocatalyst for the photodegradation of environmental pollutants in air. In this study, novel N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts were synthesized via sol-gel method and characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffractometer. N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts were nano-sized with an average particle size of about 20 nm. The XRD pattern of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts showed both anatase and rutile phases. The photocatalytic activity of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts was evaluated by degradation of NO under UV and visible light irradiation at various parameters such as amount of photocatalyst, concentration of NO, and intensity of light. The photocatalytic activity of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts was effective for the enhancement of the degradation of NO and higher than that of $TiO_2$ photocatlysts under UV and visible light irradiation.

This study focuses on the difference of photocatalytic activity depending on crystal structure type of nanoparticles ($TiO_2$) and nanotubes (TNT). The photodecomposition of 2-chlorophenol on the synthesized $TiO_2$, Sn-impregnated $TiO_2$, TNT, and Snimpregnated TNT were evaluated. The characteristics of the synthesized photocatalyts, TNT, Sn/TNT, $TiO_2$, and Sn/$TiO_2$ were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and cyclic voltammeter (CV). The water-suspended 2-chlorophenol photodegradation over $TiO_2$ (anatase structure) catalyst was better than that over pure TNT. Particularly, the water-suspended 2-chlorophenol of 10 ppm was perfectly decomposed within 4 h over Sn/$TiO_2$ photocatalyst.

The present study was performed to investigate photodegradation rate constants and degradation products of phosphamidon and profenofos by the USEPA method. The two pesticides were very stable in 16 days exposure of sunlight from September 3 to 22, 1999 and humic acid had no sensitizing effect on the photolysis of each pesticide in sunlight. In the UV irradiation test, phosphamidon was rapidly degraded as increasing UV intensity. In case of UV irradiation with TiO2 and with TiO2 powder amount, degradation of profenofos showed no significant difference with UV irradiation. Photodegradation rate of profenofos was slower than that of phosphamidon. In order to identify photolysis products, the extracts of degradation products were analyzed by GC/MS. The mass spectra of photolysis products of phosphamidon were at m/z 153 and 149, those of the profenofos were at m/z 208 and 240, respectively. It was suggested that the photolysis products of phosphamidon were 0, 0-dimethyl phosphate(DMP) and N, N-diethylchloroacetamide, those of profenofos were 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol and 0-ethyl-S-propyl phosphate.

Objectives: The photocatalytic degradation of toluene in a batch mode photoreactor for the purpose of the hazardous waste treatment was investigated. Methods: Kinetic experiments using a low pressure mercury lamp (Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd, 50 Watt) emitting both UV and visible light were performed at $31^{\circ}C$ over toluene concentrations ranging from 10 to 50 mg/l in water with $50%TiO_2/6%WO_3$ (TW) concentration of 1 g/l at a pH of 6. Results: Kinetic studies showed that $50%TiO_2/6%WO_3$ (TW) photocatalyst was highly active in toluene degradation; we observed that 99% of the pollutant was degraded after six hours under visible irradiation; furthermore, we observed that adsorption onto TW catalyst was responsible for the decrease of toluene with pseudo-first order kinetics. It was also found that oxygen as a radical source in the sol medium played a significant role in affecting the photodegradation of toluene, especially with a two-fold elevation. This increase was achieved by a more than four-fold elevation of the photodegradation of toluene in the presence of acetone than without, presumably via an energy transfer mechanism. Conclusions: We concluded that photodegradation in acetone and oxygen molecules along with TW was an effective method for the removal of toluene from wastewater.

This study reported the dual functional self-cleaning PET fabrics prepared from $TiO_2$ and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane treatment, which have photodegradation and superhydrophobicity on the fabric surface. Phodegradation and superhydrophobicity of the resulting fabric were compared with $TiO_2$ or silane treated fabrics. The dual functional self-cleaning PET fabric showed less photodegradation than the $TiO_2$ treated fabric. However, the dual functional self-cleaning fabrics showed superior superhydrophobicity to silane treated fabric with increased water contact angle and significantly decreased roll-off angle. This suggested that the dual functional PET fabric has a great potential to be the commercialized self-cleaning fabric because it is repellent to soil or dust and even if soil or dust is adsorbed on the fabric surface, it can be removed by water rolling off on the surface or photodegradation by the photocatalyst.

$TiO_2$ nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel process using titanium tetra isopropoxide as a precursor at room temperature. Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared by photoreduction of $AgNO_3$ on $TiO_2$ under UV light irradiation and calcinated at $400^{\circ}C$. Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were characterized for their structural and morphological properties by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic properties of the $TiO_2$ and Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were evaluated according to the degree of photocatalytic degradation of gaseous benzene under UV and visible light irradiation. To estimate the rate of photolysis under UV (${\lambda}=365nm$) and visible (${\lambda}{\geq}410nm$) light, the residual concentration of benzene was monitored by gas chromatography (GC). Both undoped/doped nanoparticles showed about 80 % of photolysis of benzene under UV light. However, under visible light irradiation Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles exhibited a photocatalytic reaction toward the photodegradation of benzene more efficient than that of bare $TiO_2$. The enhanced photocatalytic reaction of Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles is attributed to the decrease in the activation energy and to the existence of Ag in the $TiO_2$ host lattice, which increases the absorption capacity in the visible region by acting as an electron trapper and promotes charge separation of the photoinduced electrons ($e^-$) and holes ($h^+$). The use of Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles preserved the option of an environmentally benign photocatalytic reaction using visible light; These particles can be applicable to environmental cleaning applications.

In this experiment, the oxidations of p-Xylene (140-180 ppmv), one of the air pollutants as a VOC, using $UV/TiO_2$ photocatalyst is studied. In order to increase the specific surface area, the filter is coated by nano $TiO_2$ particles. The photodegradation system consists of a VOCs generator, a photocatalyst filter and a measuring equipment. Illumination is generally provided by two of 20 W black light lamps with 380 nm of wavelength. The filter coated by nano $TiO_2$ particles has a passing efficiency over 80% but a pressure drop of 9.0 $mmH_2O$ at 0.45 cm/s. The filter endurance is better than activated carbon at the same pressure drop.

본 연구에서는 난분해성 유기물질의 광분해능을 증가시키고자 다양한 산 촉매 및 마이크로웨이브법으로 아나타제/브루카이트 혼성형 $TiO_2$ 광촉매를 제조하였다. 또한 그에 따른 입자 및 결정크기와 브루카이트 분율에 따른 메틸렌블루의 광분해특성을 고찰하였다. 아나타제/브루카이트 혼성형 $TiO_2$ 광촉매의 표면특성 및 입자크기는 주사전자현미경과 레이저회절 입도분석기를 통하여 평가하였고, 결정구조는 X선 회절장치를 통하여 확인하였다. 메틸렌블루의 광분해 특성은 자외선 가시광선 분광광도계를 통하여 확인하였다. 주사전자현미경과 레이저회절 입도분석결과로부터 아나타제 및 아나타제/브루카이트 혼성형 $TiO_2$ 광촉매는 약 500 nm 이하의 클러스터 형태의 입자크기 나타내었고, 평균입자 크기는 $6.66{\sim}6.85{\mu}m$로 산 촉매 종류에 의한 영향은 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 산 촉매의 종류 및 마이크로웨이브법으로 제조된 $TiO_2$ 광촉매는 XRD 분석결과로부터 아나타제/브루카이트 혼성형 결정구조를 나타내었고 그 결정구조는 마이크로웨이브 조사시간의 증가에 따라서 변화하지 않았다. 메틸렌블루의 광분해능 실험결과로부터 광분해능은 브루카이트 분율 및 결정크기에 비례하지 않았으며, 브루카이트 분율 및 결정크기가 적정치 이상이 되면 오히려 촉매활성이 저하되는 경향성을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과에서는 브루카이트 분율 및 결정크기가 9.4%, 4.53 nm인 아나타제/브루카이트 혼성형 $TiO_2$ 광촉매가 가장 우수한 광분해능을 나타내었다.

코발트 적재된 활성탄소섬유(ACFs)는 이산화티탄($TiO_2$) 광촉매 반응을 촉진시키는 것을 발전되었다. Co-ACFs/$TiO_2$ 광촉매는 SEM, XRD, EDX 및 UV-vis 분광기를 사용하여 분석하였다. Co-ACFs/$TiO_2$ 광촉매에 대한 메틸렌불루(MB)의 분해 효과는 300분 반응해서 거의 100%를 도달하였다. 용액에 있는 MB 분자들은 ACFs의 흡착에 의해 $TiO_2$ 입자의 주위에 응축한다고 가정되었다. 그래서 이 광촉매 복합체는 MB 광분해에 대한 활성탄의 흡착성과 $TiO_2$의 광촉매 특성의 결합한 성능을 가지고 있다. 코발트가 전자 천이 효과를 가지고 있기 때문에 MB 용액의 광분해가 증가되는 것으로 판단된다.

The rates of photodegradation, reactivities, and mechanisms of photooxidation for the aqueous solution containing with halogen derivatives of aliphatic hydrocarbons have been discussed with respect to the kinds of photocatalysts, concentration of photocatalytlc suspensions, strength of radiant power, time of illumination, changes of pH of substrate solution, wavelength of radiation, and pressure of oxygen gas saturated In the solution. These aqueous solutions suspended with 0.5 $gL^{-1}$ $TiO_2$ powder have been photodecomposed in the range of 100 and 93.8% per 1 hour if it is illuminated with wavelength (λ $\geq$ 300nm) produced from Xe-lamp(450W). The photocatalytic abilities have been increased In the order of $Fe_2O_3$ < CdS < $CeO_2$ < Y_2O_3$ <$TiO_2$, and rates of photodegradation for the solution have maldmum values in the condition of pH 6 ~ 8 and 3 psi-$O_2$ gL^{-1}$. These rates for the Photoolddation Per 1 hour were dependent on the size of molecular weight and chemical bonding for organic halogen compounds and the rates of photodegadation were increased in the order of $C_2H_5Br$ < CH_2Br_2$ < C_5H_11Cl C_2H_4Cl_2$ < tracts-$C_2H_2Cl_2$ < cis-C_2H_2Cl_2$ The T_{1/2}$ and t99% for these solutions were 5~21 and 40~90 minutes. respectively, and these values were coincided with Initial reaction kinetics(ro). It was found that reaction of photodegradation has the pseudo first-order kinetics controlled by the amount of $h^+_{VB}$ diffused from a surface of photocatalysts.
