  • The objective of this work is to evaluate the hypothesis that a good technique for supplying oxygen to the saturated zone in the presence of light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) pool contamination at the water table is to pass air through the unsaturated zone above the pool. This hypothesis was evaluated in experimental studies performed using a bench-scale, sand-tank reactor, Steady-state abiotic experiments in the sand-tank reactor with air flowing through the reactor headspace demonstrated that oxygen supply through the water table interface into the saturated zone was enhanced when an LNAPL (dodecane) pool was present at the water table. These experimental results confirmed the hypothesis that an LNAPL pool can serve as a high concentration oxygen source to the oxygen-limited area beneath the pool and, as a result, enhance the in situ biodegradation rate.

  • We have studied a method for the preparation of hybrid $carbon/TiO_2$ complexes involving pitch coating, pitch binding and the penetration of titanium n-butoxide(TNB) solution with porous carbon. The photocatalysts were investigated with surface textural properties and SEM morphology, structural crystallinity and elemental identification between porous carbon and $TiO_2$, and dye decomposition performance. For the all $carbon/TiO_2$ complexes prepared by some kinds of different methods, the excellent photocatalytic effect for dye degradation should be attributed to the both effects between photo-decomposition of the supported $TiO_2$ and adsorptivity of the porous carbons.

  • Multi-elements doped $TiO_2$ was prepared as a new photocatalyst in order to decrease the band gap of $TiO_2$ by sol-gel process which can provide the large active sites of $TiO_2$. Multi-elements were doped by using a single precursor, tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEATFB). By the benefit of large specific surface area of $TiO_2$ prepared by sol-gel process, catalysts showed initial fast removal of dye. The photoactivity showed that the doped catalysts significantly promote the light reactivity than undoped $TiO_2$. The commendable photoactivity of prepared catalysts is predominantly attributable to the doping of anions which may reduce the band gap.

  • The characteristics of photocatalytic decomposition of dye waste water by titanium dioxide was studied in a batch reactor under constant strength of ultra-violet ray. The decomposition rate of methyl orange by TiO$_2$ was pseudo-first order, anatase type TiO$_2$ was more effective than rutile type below the dosage of 5g. The decomposition rate was increased with decreasing initial pH, increasing reaction temperature and oxidant concentration. The decomposition rate of water soluble dyes was decreased in order of rhodamine B>eosin Y>methyl orange.

  • A new microporous TiO2-pillared layered titanate has been successfully prepared by hybridizing the exfoliated titanate with the anatase TiO2 nano-sol. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, the TiO2-pillared layered titanate showed a pillar height of ~2 nm with a high surface area of ~460 m2/g and a pore size of ~0.95 nm, indicating that a microporous pillar structure is formed. Its photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring the photodegradation rate of 4-chlorophenol during irradiation of catalyst suspensions in an aqueous solution. An enhancement in activity of ca. 170% was obtained for TiO2-pillared layered titanate compared to that of the pristine compound such as layered cesium titanate.

  • We investigated the modification of optical response properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings on the ceramic water-purification filters by using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The TiO2 coatings were prepared on ceramic substrate by e-beam evaporation method. These amorphous TiO2 were turned into anatase phase by heat treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The doping of N atoms into the TiO2 coatings was done by using 70KeV of N+ ion implantation with the dose of $1.0{\times}1017$ ions/cm2, followed by post-irradiation heat treatment at $550^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Methylene blue test of TiO2 coatings to solar irradiation showed that the post-evaporation heated TiO2 was photocatalytic and N-doped TiO2 reacted to the visible part of solar irradiation.
