Abstract
This work focuses on the enhancement of removal performance of TiO2 by the introduction of trace amout of GO composite. Among various synthesis methods, it was found that the GO–doped TiO2 by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method had the highest performance in the improvement for Cr (VI) treatment. The removal rate of Cr (VI) by TiO2–GO (0.05%) was 95.96% which is 13.58% higher than that of TiO2. It can be confirmed that GO was successfully doped on TiO2 by XRD, XPS, and FT-IR characterizations. In addition, SEM, TEM, N2 adsorption isotherm, UV–Vis spectra, and photocurrent response elucidate the mechanism of potency enhancement. The addition of trace GO reduces the particle size of TiO2 and results in the agglomeration phenomenon of TiO2, so that the specific surface area of TiO2 becomes larger and the distribution is more uniform, which expands the photoresponse range, and elevating the photoelectron response. Thus, the absorption ability of visible light is greatly improved. The reported method provides a more economical option for treating Cr(VI) wastewater.
期刊介绍:
Early dissemination of important findings from Asia which may lead to new concepts in catalyst design is the main aim of this journal. Rapid, invited, short reviews and perspectives from academia and industry will constitute the major part of Catalysis Surveys from Asia . Surveys of recent progress and activities in catalytic science and technology and related areas in Asia will be covered regularly as well. We would appreciate critical comments from colleagues throughout the world about articles in Catalysis Surveys from Asia . If requested and thought appropriate, the comments will be included in the journal. We will be very happy if this journal stimulates global communication between scientists and engineers in the world of catalysis.
