ABSTRACT |
The influence of 8 anionic and 7 cationic compounds on performance of a TiO2 thin film-photocatalyst reactor method was examined. The TiCh thin film photocatalyst was prepared by CVD(chemical vapor deposition) method. The degradation of 2-chlorophenol(2-CP) in Milli-Q water was used to monitor catalyst performance. The most of anions excepting the NO3- and CIO3- ion were found to inhibit the photocatalytic activity in the sample concentration tested. The catalytic activity was substantially inhibited by the presence of V5+, W6+, and Mo6+ ion in the sample solution. However, the cations such as Zn2+, Nd3+, Pd2+, and Ag+ improved their photocatalytic efficiency. Especially, Ag+ ion exhibited the best improvement, and the catalytic efficiency was further improved when Ag/TiO2-SS was used in combination with H2O2. |
