In order to treat the landfill leachate, $UV/TiO_2/H_2O_2$ system connected with biological treatment was investigated, and proper pretreatment methods were examined to reduce the load on the system considering economical and technical efficiency. It was more profitable to put $H_2O_2$ into the system in the early stage for the sample which was treated with $H_2SO_4$ to decrease alkalinity and with $FeCl_3-6H_2O$ flocculation. Because the required reaction time run up by increasing $H_2O_2$ input amount, though the COD was reduced slightly, the optimal $H_2O_2$ input amount should be determined for the desired COD and the economical efficiency. The appropriate way to get the lowest COD in the shortest time was the method to treat the sample which was controlled to pH 3.5 after adjusting to pH 12 and put 500 ppm $H_2O_2$ into the system. In that case, to increase $H_2O_2$ input amount was not profitable for the system efficiency. The sufficient photocatalytic excited time was required to reduce the photocatalytic decomposition time for the sample which was gone through the alkali state.

Poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) nanofibers containing different amounts of titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) have been prepared by electrospinning technique. Photocatalytic activity of these electrospun PAN/$TiO_2$ nanofibers and the effect of $TiO_2$ content on the photocatalytic efficiency of PAN/$TiO_2$ nanofibers have been evaluated by monitoring the photodecomposition of fluorescein dye, rhodamine B and methylene blue under UV irradiation with respect to irradiation time. Moreover, the effect of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) on the photocatalytic behavior of PAN/$TiO_2$ nanofibers has also been investigated. The results showed that PAN/$TiO_2$ nanofibers are effective photocatalyst and their photocatalytic efficiency increases with the increase of $TiO_2$ content in the PAN/$TiO_2$ nanofibers. It is also observed that the presence of $H_2O_2$ significantly enhances the photocatalytic ability of PAN/$TiO_2$ nanofibers. The morphology and the photocatalytic behavior of the PAN/$TiO_2$ nanofibers containing different amounts of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles have been investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV/Visible spectroscopy, respectively.

Pollution purification using titanium dioxide (TiO$_2$) photocatalyst has attracted a great deal of attention with increasing number of relent environmental problems. Currently, the application of TiO$_2$ photocatalyst has been focused on purification and treatment of waste water. However. the use of conventional TiO$_2$ powder photocatalyst results in disadvantage of stirring during the reaction and of separation after the reaction. And the usage of artificial UV lamp has made the cost of photocatalyst treatment system high. Consequently, we herein studied the pilot-scale design to aid in optimization of the energy-saving process for more through development and reactor design by solar light/UV lamp/ TiO$_2$system.

Considerable interest has been shown in recent years towards utilizing $TiO_2$ particles as a photocatalyst in the degradation of harmful organic contaminants. In this study, photocatalytic degradation of diazinon which is extensively used as a pesticide in the agriculture field, has been investigated with UV-illuminated $TiO_2$ weight, UV wavelength, pH of the solution. Photodegradation rate increased with decreasing initial concentration of diazinon and with increasing pH of the solution. Photodegradation rate increased with increasing $TiO_2$ weight, but was nearly the same at $TiO_2$ weight of 1g/$\ell$, 2 g/$\ell$, i.e., for initial diazinon concentratin of 5 mg/$\ell$. UV wavelength affecting on the degradation rate of diazinon decreased in the order of 254 nm>312 nm> 365 nm. For $TiO_2$ weight of 1 g/$\ell$and initial diazinon concentration of 5 mg/$\ell$, the photodegradation removal of diazinon was 100% after 130 min in the case of 254 nm, but 95% in the case of 312 nm, and 84% in the case of 365nm, after 180 min. The photodegradation of diazinon followed a first order or a pseudo - first order reaction rate. For initial diazinon concentration of 5 mg/$\ell$, the rate constants(k) in UV and $TiO_2$(1 g/$\ell$)/UV system were $0.006 min^{-1} and 0.0252 min^{-1} at 254 nm, 0.0055 min^{-1} and 0.0104 min^{-1} at 312 nm, and 0.004 min^{-1}$ at 365 nm respectively.

졸-겔 방법에 의하여 제조된 $TiO_2$와 $TiO_2-SiO_2$ 광촉매를 이용한 음용수 중의 대장균 살균과 엔도톡신 제거에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 대장균 살균실험은 대장균이 포함된 물이 순환되는 annular-흐름식 광촉매 코팅 반응기에서 수행되었다. 대장균의 살균능은 $TiO_2$와 $TiO_2-SiO_2$ 광촉매의 아나타제 결정성피크의 세기와 비례하였다. UV-A 조사하에 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 반응기에서 2시간 내에 대장균을 100% 살균시킬 수 있었으며, 대장균 사멸시 생성되는 독성물질인 엔도톡신이 존재하지 않았다. 그러나 UV-C 조사하에서는 30분 이내에 대장균을 100% 살균할 수 있었으나 엔도톡신이 완전히 제게되지 않았다. 따라서 광촉매와 UV-A 조사가 음용수 살균에 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), an endocrine disrupting chemical, was removed by ozone treatment processes under the various experimental conditions including UV irradiation, $TiO_2$ addition. The ozone flow rate and concentration were maintained at $1.0L{\cdot}min^{-1}$ and $70{\pm}5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The pH, COD and TOC of the samples were obtained every 10 minutes for 60 minutes in laboratory scale batch reactor. We found that the combination of UV irradiation and $TiO_2$ addition for ozonation improves the removal efficiency of COD and TOC in 4-NP aqueous solution. In case of the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ system, COD and TOC were greatly reduced to 85.3 ~ 94.0% and 89.2 ~ 97.2%, respectively. 4-NP degradation rate constants, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$, were calculated based on the COD and TOC values. Significantly, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were improved in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ treatment process compared with single $O_3$ process, because the oxidation and the mineralization of 4-NP were increased by generating of the hydroxyl radical. The $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were obtained to be $5.81{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}10.8{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ and $11.9{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}19.4{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ process. Activation energy ($E_a$) of ozone oxidation reaction based on $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were increased in order of $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ < $O3/UV$ < $O_3/TiO_2$ < $O_3$ process. It was confirmed that the addition of $TiO_2$ and UV irradiation to the ozone oxidation reaction significantly reduced the $E_a$ value and the degradation of 4-NP.

Ozonation was investigated for its ability to remove pyruvic acid in a laboratory-scale batch reactor under various experimental conditions, including UV irradiation, TiO₂ addition, and variations in temperature. An ozone flow rate of 1.0 L min^-1 and a concentration of 75±5 mg L^-1 were maintained throughout the experiment, and pH, COD, and TOC were measured at 10 min intervals during a 60 min reaction. Our results confirmed that the combination of UV irradiation and photocatalytic TiO₂ in the ozonation reaction improved the removal efficiency of both COD and TOC in aqueous solution at 20℃. Pseudo first-order rate constants and activation energies were quantified based on the COD and TOC measurements. We observed that the O₃/UV, O₃/UV/TiO₂ system increased mineralization and reduced the activation energy (E_a) necessary for pyruvic acid decomposition.

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.
