The supported TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared in laboratory, and the experiments of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification were carried out by self-designed photocatalysis reactor. The optimal experimental conditions were achieved, and the efficiencies of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification under two different light sources were compared. The results show that the oxygen content of flue gas, reaction temperature, flue gas humidity and irradiation intensity are most essential factors to photocatalysis. For TiO2/ACF, the removal efficiencies of 99.7% for SO2 and 64.3% for NO are obtained respectively at optimal experimental conditions under UV irradiation. For TiO2/ACF, the removal efficiencies of 97.5% for SO2 and 49.6% for NO are achieved respectively at optimal experimental conditions under the visible light irradiation. The results of five times parallel experiments indicate standard deviation S of parallel data is little. The mechanism of removal for SO2 and NO is proposed under two light sources by ion chromatography analysis of the absorption liquid.

Spores of Penicilliumexpansum are the most important airborne component of fungal contamination and are commonly present in the moist air in cold storage rooms where fruits and vegetables are stored. To improve the ability of activated carbon felt-supported titanium dioxide (TiO2/ACF) to remove spores of P. expansum from the atmosphere, measurements for the removal efficiency of the spores at a temperature of 3 degrees C+/-1 degrees C and relative humidity of 90%+/-3% had been made on photocatalytically-activated (PC) silver-doped TiO2/ACF prepared by ion sputtering in two different modes and photoelectrocatalytically-activated (PEC) TiO2/ACF films. The Weibull distribution model was used to define the degree of microbial inactivation attributable to the PC or PEC films. The key parameters of the PC or PEC affecting the disinfection efficiency in terms of the reliable life (t(R) value) of this model were studied. Both silver-doped TiO2/ACF and PEC on TiO2/ACF improved destruction of this airborne microbe. Silver deposited on the surface of the prepared ACF-supported TiO2 films (Ag/Ti=0.012, atomic ratios) dramatically reduced t(R) value. With respect to the PEC, a model was established using response surface methodology to describe the relationship between the t(R) value and the key affecting parameters, including light intensity and bias voltage. The optimized parameters were found to be a light intensity of 2.3 mW x cm(-2) with a bias voltage of 66.7 V.

This work reports the improvement in the photon absorption and degradation of acetaminophen (ACF) and diclofenac (DFC) by photosensitizing TiO2 with two types of dyes Eosin Y (Ey) and Rhodamine B (RhB). Experimental tests were carried out in a solar simulator for three hours for different systems and both pollutants. The influences of the TiO2 concentration (100, 200 and 800 mg L-1) and the catalyst-dye ratio (2%, 5% and 10%) were investigated. The degradation of the compounds was higher in the presence of TiO2-Ey compared to the TiO2-RhB and TiO2 for both pharmaceutical compounds, which was attributed to the anionic nature of Ey. DFC total degradation was achieved using 100 mg L-1 of catalyst loading and 10% of catalyst-dye ratio and the highest ACF degradation (71%) was obtained at 800 mg L-1 of catalyst loading and 5% of catalyst-dye ratio. The photon absorption was studied for both dyes using the six-flux absorption scattering model (SFM) for estimating the LVRPA (local volumetric rate of photon absorption). This was done by modifying the apparent optical thickness equation. It was found that the presence of dye in the photocatalytic systems considerably increases the LVRPA. The rate coefficients for the degradation of pharmaceutical compounds in the presence of the organic dyes were also obtained.
