  • The tin (IV) oxide nanoparticles are prepared by controlled precipitation method and calcined at temperatures of $200-600^{\circ}C$. The prepared $SnO_2$ nanoparticles characterized by XRD patterns, TEM image, IR and UV-Vis spectra. The XRD patterns and TEM image show the tetragonal structure and spherical morphology for $SnO_2$ nanoparticles, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared $SnO_2$ nanoparticles studied in degradation reaction of methylene blue (MB). The results show the size of nanoparticles, band-gap energy and photocatalytic activity of $SnO_2$ depends on the calcinations temperature. The $SnO_2$ nanoparticles calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ indicated the highest photoreactivity. Also, the zero-valent tin (ZVT) nanoparticles with tetragonal structure are prepared by a reducing agent and used as a catalyst in degradation of MB. In basic pH of 11, the degradation >95% of MB at time 150 min obtained at presence of ZVT nanoparticles.

  • The objectives of this study were to select superior fungus for lignin degradation and to decolor dyes by selected fungus. Ligninolytic fungi were screened and isolated from decayed woods. Ten ligninolytic fungi were selected by ligninolytic enzyme activity on the PDA media containing rhemazol brilliant blue R, guaiacol and gallic acid. Their lignin degradation abilities were tested on the extractive-free wood powder of Quercus acutissima and Pinus densiflora. As a result, 8J-28 was selected as superior fungus for lignin degradation. Also, decolorization abilities of dyes were examined by shaking and static culture. And congo red, crystal violet, poly R-478, methylene blue used to investigate decolorization abilities of dyes. As a result, 8J-28 showed over 90% in decolorization of congo red, crystal violet, poly R-478.

  • Tungsten trioxide ($WO_3$) is a promising candidate as a photocatalyst because of its outstanding electrical and optical properties. In this study, we prepare $WO_3$ thin films by electrodeposition and characterize the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using these films. Depending on the voltage conditions (static and pulse), compact and porous $WO_3$ films are fabricated on a transparent ITO/glass substrate. The morphology and crystal structure of electrodeposited $WO_3$ thin films are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. An application of static voltage during electrodeposition yields a compact layer of $WO_3$, whereas a highly porous morphology with nanoflakes is produced by a pulse voltage process. Compared to the compact film, the porous $WO_3$ thin film shows better photocatalytic activities. Furthermore, a much higher reaction rate of degradation of methylene blue can be achieved after post-annealing of $WO_3$ thin films.

  • 촉매오존화에 의한 메틸렌 블루(MB) 제거특성과 그에 미치는 운전변수의 영향을 관찰하기 위해 회분식 실험을 수행하였다. 촉매오존화에서 오존 분해반응의 촉매로 작용하는 활성탄의 투입량이 증가함에 따라 MB 및 TOC 제거속도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 반응기로 공급되는 가스상 오존의 농도가 증가함에 따라 물질전달이 크게 일어나므로 MB 제거속도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 촉매오존화에서 오존의 분해에 의해 생성된 $OH{\cdot}$에 의해 MB의 분해가 일어나므로 오존화에 비해 MB의 제거속도가 빠를 뿐 아니라 훨씬 높은 TOC 제거율을 기대할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 촉매오존화에서 오염물질 처리는 pH의 변화에 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타나 현장 적용시에 있을 수 있는 유입수의 변동에 대한 적용성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 촉매오존화가 섬유산업에서 발생하는 난분해성 폐수를 처리하기 위한 효과적인 대안이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • 하폐수 고도산화처리(AOP, advanced oxidation process) 중 하나인 펜톤산화법과 전기화학적 방법을 결합한 전기펜톤산화법의 cathode에 stainless steel mesh (SUS mesh)를 적용하였다. 난분해성 물질인 염료 methylene blue (MB) 용액에 대해서, SUS mesh의 표면 처리 및 산화철 코팅 여부에 따라 전기펜톤산화 처리의 효율이 어떻게 달라지는지를 비교, 분석하였다. MB분해 반응의 효율 비교를 통해 mesh 표면에 코팅된 산화철의 양이 많을수록 전극의 촉매 특성이 높아짐을 확인하였고, 이는 전극표면에서 in situ로 발생하는 과산화수소의 발생량이 높아지는 것과 연관이 있었다. 전류-전위 순환법(CV)을 통해 개발된 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 평가해 본 결과, mesh 표면에 코팅된 산화철의 양이 많을수록 전기화학적 산화-환원 특성 또한 개선되었고, 이것이 우수한 전기펜톤산화 전극으로서의 성능과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 확인하였다.

  • 광촉매인 나노크기의 산화아연(ZnO)과 흡착기능의 지지체인 Laponite, 결합제인 poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)를 혼합하여 붕산(boric acid)과 가교반응(crosslinking)을 통해 흡착과 광분해가 동시에 발생하며 회수가 불필요한 nano-ZnO/Laponite/PVA (ZLP) 광촉매 흡착볼을 개발하였다. ZLP 광촉매 흡착볼 제작을 위한 최적의 배합비는 Nano-ZnO:Laponite:PVA:deionized water의 구성비가 3:1:1:16 (by weight)으로 도출되었으며, PVA가 붕산과의 가교결합을 통해서 다층의 망(mesh network)과 막(film)을 형성하여 Laponite의 팽윤과 ZnO의 탈리 현상을 억제하는 것으로 사료된다. 수중안정성을 개선하고 비표면적을 높이기 위한 최적의 건조방법은 microwave를 활용하는 방법이며, SEM과 TEM의 분석을 통해 다양한 크기(55~500 ${\mu}m$)의 공극(pore)이 분포하며 ZnO의 균질한 분포를 확인할 수가 있었다. 메틸렌블루 광분해 특성은 반응 초기(40분)에는 Laponite와 메틸렌블루의 이온결합에 따른 흡착제거가 주요 제거 기작이며, 메틸렌블루의 흡착이 포화상태에 도달 후 광분해를 통한 제거가 발생함을 확인하여 흡착과 광분해가 동시에 발생하여 수중에 용해된 메틸렌 블루를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 짧은 시간에 흡착과 광분해가 동시에 진행되어 난분해성 오염물질을 효과적으로 제거하는 광촉매 흡착볼의 제작이 가능하며, 나노물질의 탈리로 인해 발생하는 환경 및 수용체에 미치는 위해성도 최소화 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • In this paper, three types of CNT/$TiO_2$ composite electrodes were prepared with different methods. The changes in XRD patterns showed that the Electrode A contained a mixed phase of anatase and rutile while the Electrode B and Electrode C contained a typical single and clear anatase crystal structure. From SEM micrographs, $TiO_2$ particles were adhered on the surface of the CNT network in the forms of small clusters. The results of chemical elemental analysis indicated that the main elements such as C, O and Ti were existed. The results demonstrated that the efficiency of photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation for methylene blue (MB) was higher than that of photocatalytic (PC) oxidation. There was a clear enhancement trend of the MB degradation using the prepared CNT/$TiO_2$ composite electrodes with an increase of applied potential. Finally, the prominent PEC activities of the CNT/$TiO_2$ composites could be attributed to combination effects of photo-degradation of $TiO_2$, electron assistant of CNT and function of applied potential.

  • In this study, an expanded graphite-titanium oxide composite is developed from expanded graphite (EG) and titanium n-butoxide (TNB). EG is synthesized by chemical intercalation of natural graphite (NG) and rapid expansion at high temperature. TNB is used as the titanium source. The performances of the prepared EG-$TiO_2$ composite are characterized by BET surface area measurements, scan electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The catalytic activities of the EG-$TiO_2$ composite are investigated by analysis of the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under irradiation of UV light. Compared with the pristine $TiO_2$ and activity carbon-$TiO_2$ (AC-$TiO_2$) composite, the EG-$TiO_2$ composite shows very high efficiency against MB solution, and the EG could improve the photocatalytic effect of $TiO_2$ in the MB degradation reaction under the irradiation of UV light.

  • Photocatalysis has been applied to decompose the waste and toxic materials produced in daily life and in the global environment. Pure $TiO_2$ (Zn-$TiO_2$-0) and Zn-doped $TiO_2$ (Zn-$TiO_2$-x, x = 3-10 mol %) samples were synthesized using a novel sol-gel and ammonia-evaporation method. The Zn-doped $TiO_2$ samples showed high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB). The physicochemical properties of the samples were investigated using XRD, SEM, ICP, DLS and BET methods. In addition, the most important measurement of photocatalytic ability was investigated by a UV-vis spectrophotometer. The effects of the mol % of zinc ion doping in $TiO_2$ on photocatalytic activity were studied. Among the mol % Zn ions investigated, the Zn-$TiO_2$-9 sample showed the highest photoreactivity. This sample removed 91.4% of the MB after 4 h, while the pure $TiO_2$ only removed 46.4% of the MB.
