Characterization of supported TiO{sub 2}-based catalysts green-prepared and employed for photodegradation of malodorous DMDS
Abstract
Graphical abstract: Display Omitted Highlights: ► We prepare rutile-TiO{sub 2} based catalysts using a simple and eco-efficient method. ► TiO{sub 2} based catalysts coated on supporting materials have large BET surface areas. ► Supported TiO{sub 2} based catalysts efficiently degrade malodorous DMDS. -- Abstract: Titanium dioxide (TiO{sub 2})-based catalysts coated onto two supporting materials (Pyrex glass beads and porous polypropylene fibers) in laboratory have been prepared and characterized. A modified preparation process at low temperature involving the addition of distilled water, aqueous ammonia, and ferrous sulfate, respectively, was used to enhance the spontaneous precipitation of three TiO{sub 2}-based catalysts. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area of three catalysts was ranged from 160.1 to 202.7 m{sup 2}/g. The surface morphology of three catalysts was identified by a scanning electron microscopy equipped with an X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer. The photocatalytic degradation of dimethyldisulfide was investigated using the supported TiO{sub 2}-based catalysts. The original dimethyldisulfide almost was degraded within 2 h. A similar photocatalytic activity on degrading dimethyldisulfide was demonstrated in comparison with commercial catalysts. Simplicity, low cost, low energy consumption, and solvent-free are the advantages of this proposed method which can be used to photodecompose environmental organic pollutants effectively without heat treatment.
