Abstract:
RuO2/TiO2 films were deposited on float pearls (FP) by the sol-gel-dipping method. The substrates were coated with RuO2/TiO2 precursor sol, air-dried at 120C and further heated at 500C to obtain the coupled photocatalyst of RuO2/TiO2 films supported on FP (RuO2/TiO2/FP). The structure of coupled photocatalyst was characterized by SEM, XRD, and FT-IR technique, respectively. The results showed TiO2 has anatase structure and doped RuO2 was highly dispersed on the surface of TiO2 particles as amorphous. The average thickness of RuO2/TiO2 films (3 layers) on FP was determined to be about 1 m. This study was carried out under the following conditions: volume 60 mL, initial concentration of beta-cypermethrin (BEC) 45 mg/L, pH 6.5, amount of RuO2/TiO2/PF 5 g/L, air flow rate 200 mL/min, reaction time 60 min. The degradation rates of BEC are 88.1% (125 W Hg lamp), 82.8% (8 W UV lamp), and 75.1% (8 W solar lamp), respectively. The photocatalytic degradation of BEC was experimentally demonstrated to follow the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model, and the reaction rate constant (17.5 mg/(L min)) and the adsorption constant (3.486 L/g) were determined, respectively. It was also found that the RuO2/TiO2/FP photocatalyst has significantly the visible light photoactivity for degradation of BEC.
