The improved photocatalytic performance of a carbon/$TiO_2$ composite was studied for the Bisphenol A (BPA) decomposition. Titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) and a rice husk from Korea were heterogeneously mixed as the titanium and carbon sources, respectively, for 3 h at room temperature, and then thermally treated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in $H_2$ gas. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed that the bulk carbon partially covered the $TiO_2$ particles, and the amount that was covered increased with the addition of the rice husk. The acquired carbon/$TiO_2$ composite exhibited an anatase structure and a novel peak at $2{\theta}=32^{\circ}$, which was assigned to bulk carbon. The specific surface area was significantly enhanced to 123~164 $m^2/g$ in the carbon/$TiO_2$ composite, compared to $32.43m^2/g$ for the pure $TiO_2$. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results showed that the Ti-O bond was weaker in the carbon/$TiO_2$ composite than in the pure $TiO_2$, resulting in an easier electron transition from the Ti valence band to the conduction band. The carbon/$TiO_2$ composite absorbed over the whole UV-visible range, whereas the absorption band in the pure$TiO_2$ was only observed in the UV range. These results agreed well with an electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) study that showed that the electrons were rapidly transferred to the surface of the carbon/$TiO_2$ composite compared to the pure $TiO_2$. The photocatalytic performance of the BPA removal was optimized at a Ti:C ratio of 9.5:0.5, and this photocatalytic composite completely decomposed 10.0 ppm BPA after 210 min, whereas the pure $TiO_2$ achieved no more than 50% decomposition under any conditions.

조류는 호소의 부영양화 현상을 발생시킬 뿐 아니라 전반적인 정수처리공정에 많은 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 그 중에서도 조류 세포와 조류유래 유기물질(Algogenic Organic Matter; AOM)은 휴믹물질처럼 염소 소독 시 유해성 물질인 소독부산물질(Disinfection By-Products; DBPs)을 형성하는 전구물질이다. 본 연구는 전 염소처리와 응집공정에 의한 조류유래 유기물질의 제거특성 변화를 확인하였으며, 또한 부영양화된 호소수 처리 공정으로 철(III)을 이용한 고도응집공정과 UV산화 공정의 적용성을 평가하였다. 전 염소처리공정은 조류제거에는 효과적이지만 수중의 DOC(Dissoluble Organic Carbon)농도와 TMHs(Trihalomethanes) 생성량을 증가시켰다. 응집실험에서는 응집 반응 pH가 조류유래 유기물질과 소독부산물질 제거에 있어 중요한 인자로 작용하였으며, 중성 pH에서 보다 낮은 반응 pH 5에서 DOC, THMs 제거율이 각각 50%와 28% 향상되었다 조류유래 유기물질과 THMs제거에 있어 UV 산화 공정을 적용한 결과, $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{3+}$ 공정이 가장 효과적이었지만, 반응 pH를 조정한 고도응집공정보다는 효과적이지 않았다.

The photocatalytic decolorization of Reactive Red 2B(RR2B) was studied using immobilized photocatalyst/UV System. Two pairs of 20 W UV-B and UV-C lamps were employed as the light source. Immobilization of $TiO_2$ was carried out using sponge (as the photocatalyst body) and silicone sealant(as the binder). The effects of parameters such as the thickness, pore size of sponge photocatalyst and attached material on the reactor bottom were investigated. The results showed that the optimum thickness of sponge photocatalyst was 1 cm. Decolorization of reactor which had the bottom coated $TiO_2$ was higher than that of reactor attached aluminum plate. Decolorization of photocatalyst with large pore size(mean pore size, 3.8 mm) was higher than that of the small(mean pore size, 1.75 mm). Initial decolorization of RR2B could be descrived using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H) model and gave constant values of $0.55mg/l{\cdot}min(k)\;and\;2.65{\times}10^{-2}l/mg(K)$, respectively.

The purpose of this study is in development of effective filter-type polymer adsorbent for removal of pollutants from wastewater by UV irradiation graft polymerization. Photografting of acrylic acid (AA) on polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric using benzophenone (BP) as a photosensitizer was investigated. Inhibition of homopolymerization was achieved by adding various concentrations of $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, $CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ and Mohr's salt. As AA concentration was increased, the degree of grafting was increased as to a specific value and then decreased, and the effect of BP concentration showed the same tendency. It was also found that the degree of grafting increased with reaction time and reaction temperature. Addition of the polyfunctional monomers and $H_2SO_4$ to the grafting system accelerated the photografting. The melting temperature, molecular weight and breaking stress and breaking strain were decreased with the increase in the degree of grafting.

A new system using $TiO_2$ (nano-sized, band-gap 3.14 eV)-impregnated spherical ZnS (micro-sized, band-gap 2.73 eV) nano/micro-composites (Ti 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, and 0.05 mol %/ZnS) was developed to enhance the production of hydrogen from methanol/water splitting. The ZnS particles in a spherical morphology with a diameter of about 2-4 mm which can absorb around 455 nm were prepared by hydrothermal method. This material was used as a photocatalyst with loading by nano-sized $TiO_2$ (20-30 nm) for hydrogen production. The evolution of $H_2$ from methanol/water (1:1) photo splitting over the $TiO_2$/ZnS composite in the liquid system was enhanced, compared with that over pure $TiO_2$ and ZnS. In particular, 1.2 mmol of $H_2$ gas was produced after 12 h when 0.005 mol % $TiO_2$/ZnS nano/micro-composite was used. On the basis of cyclic voltammeter (CV) and UV-visible spectrums results, the high photoactivity was attributed to the larger band gap and the lower LUMO in the $TiO_2$/ZnS composite, due to the decreased recombination between the excited electrons and holes.

In this study, the deriving optimum conditions for decolorization of Acid Orange II solution was carried using $TiO_2$ advanced oxidation process. After that, on base of the deriving results, the range of dye concentration was estimated. In addition, acute toxicity test was also carried to assess toxicity unit according to decolorization and TOC removal. In case of the blockage of light, 20 mg/L of dye solution, and 0.5 g $TiO_2$, the effect of decolorization at pH 3 was larger than at pH 6 and 10, so it was shown that decolorization is dependent on pH. The use of 5 g $TiO_2$ showed best performance of decolorization, but that of 3 g $TiO_2$ was chosen to optimum condition in considering of economical aspects. Four light sources, sun, fluorescent lamp, BLB lamp, and UV-B lamp, were used and decolorization was 99.4% and 100% at 50 mg/L, 98.6% and 99.7% at 100 mg/L for sun and UV-B lamp, respectively. In spite of the optimum condition of decolorization at pH 3, the evaluation of acute toxicity test showed highly toxic. In conclusion, although the optimum treatment of dye solution is performed, water ecology can be polluted in discharging it into water system. Therefore, it is needed to study of water ecological system with dye water treatment, and it takes all the circumstances into consideration.

본 연구에서는 Titanium(IV) sulfate($Ti(SO_4)_2$)와 암모니아수로부터 수열합성법을 이용하여 비교적 낮은 합성온도($80{\sim}100^{\circ}C$)와 상압에서 소성과정을 거치지 않고 $TiO_2$ 분말을 제조하였고, $TiO_2$ 제조 시 반응온도, 반응물의 초기농도, 혼합용액의 pH와 같은 반응조건에 따른 $TiO_2$ 입자의 결정구조와 입자분포, 형상 등과 같은 물리적 특성을 고찰하였다. 제조한 시료는 UV 조사 하에 Brilliant Blue FCF(BB-FCF)의 광분해 실험을 실시하여 광분해 성능과 DRS 분석을 통해 광촉매 활성을 비교하였다. 제조한 시료의 물성은 XRD, SEM, PL, 입도분포 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. Titanium(IV) sulfate($Ti(SO_4)_2$)의 초기농도가 증가할수록 $TiO_2$의 평균 입자크기와 결정화도는 증가하였고 광촉매 활성은 감소하였다. 혼합용액의 pH가 높을수록 평균 입자크기는 감소하였고 광촉매 활성은 증가하였다. 반응온도가 높을수록 결정화도와 광촉매 활성은 증가하였다. 이상의 결과들로부터 $Ti(SO_4)_2$와 암모니아수를 이용한 비교적 낮은 합성온도와 상압에서의 수열합성법으로도 순수한 anatase 결정구조의 $TiO_2$가 제조됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present study is the first report of utilizing $TiO_2$ photocatalyst to analytically calibrate the hydroperoxyl radical ($HO_2\;^{\cdot}$). An in-situ calibration method of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ is proposed for air monitoring by using an 2-methyl-6-(pmethoxyphenyl)- 3,7-dihydroimidazo-[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one (MCLA)-chemiluminescence (CL) technique. In this method, $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$($pK_a$ = 4.80) is produced by the ultraviolet (UV) photolysis of immobilized $TiO_2$ using a constant flow rate of air equilibrated water, in which $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ is controlled by using various lengths of knotted tubing reactor (KTR). The principle of the proposed calibration is based on the experimentally determined halflife ($t_{1/2}$) of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ and its empirically observed pH-dependent rate constant, $k_{obs}$, at a given pH. The concentration of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$− is increased as pH increases. This pH dependence is due to the different disproportionative reactivities between $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$− and $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$−. Experimental results indicate the practical feasibility of the approach, producing very promising method.
