Abstract

The feasibility study for the application of the photoelectrocatalytic decolorization of Rhodamine B(RhB) was performed in the slurry photoelectrochemical reactor with powder TiO$_2$. The photoelectrocatalytic process was consisted of powder TiO$_2$, Pt electrode and three 8 W UV-C lamps. The effects of operating conditions, such as current, electrolyte, air flow rate and electrode material were evaluated. The experimental results showed that optimum TiO$_2$ dosage and current in photoelectrocatalytic process were 0.4 g/L and 0.02 A, respectively. It was found that the RhB could be degraded more efficiently by this photoelectrocatalytic process than the sum of the two individual oxidation processes(photocatalytic and electrolytic process). It demonstrated a synergetic effect between the photo- and electrochemical catalysis. Photoelectrocatalytic process was affected to air flow rate and optimum air flow rate was 2 L/min. The electrode material and NaCl effect of decolorization of RhB were not significant within the experiment conditions.

Rhodamine B(RhB) 탈색에 대한 광전기촉매 공정의 적용가능성을 분말 TiO$_2$를 충전한 슬러리 광전기촉매 반응기에서 연구하였다. 광전기촉매 공정의 반응기 시스템은 분말 TiO$_2$, Pt 전극 및 3개의 8 W UV-C 등으로 구성되어 있다. 전류, 전해질, 공기 유량 및 전극 재질과 같은 운전 인자의 영향을 고찰하였다. 광전기촉매 공정의 최적 광촉매 량과 전류는 각각 0.4 g/L과 0.02A이었다. 광촉매 공정과 전기분해 단독 공정에 의해 분해되는 RhB의 합보다 광전기촉매 공정에 의해 더 빨리 분해되었는데, 광촉매 공정과 전기분해 공정의 결합에 의한 시너지 효과를 나타내는 것으로 사료되었다. 광전기촉매 공정은 공기 유량에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났고 최적 공기 유량은 2 L/min이었다. RhB 탈색에 대한 전극 재질과 NaCl 효과는 본 실험범위에서는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
