Titania is usually used in sun-screens, tooth paste, and other daily used objects as a pigment. However, scientists have focused on titania as photocatalyst due to its excellent activities. By fabricating vanadium doped TiO2 and CuOx co-catalyzed TiO2 nano-size filter, the degradation level of the volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration was tested using 365nm UV LED as light source in a closed chamber. Main purpose for this test is to evaluate the activities of various catalysts for degrading the VOCs which are detrimental to human body and toluene and p-xylene were chosen in the VOC removal test. Target gas materials were injected into the test chamber with dry air as carrier gas which was flowed into the gas washer bottle filled with liquid form of VOC substance. When the VOC gas flows into the chamber, it is circulated by 200 mm fan in order to contact with the set-up filter on the aluminum holder. Target gas concentration in the chamber was monitored using VOC detector (miniRae3000, Raesystems) which was also placed inside the chamber. With the measured concentration, the VOC degradation efficiency and the degradation rate were evaluated and used to compare the catalytic activities.

본 연구에서는 인공 UV lamp의 대체에너지로 무한한 청정에너지인 태양광을 광원으로 이용하여 Cu(II)-EDTA 제거를 위한 광촉매 산화반응을 실시하였다. Cu(II)-EDTA의 광촉매 산화반응의 효율에 관한 연구를 위해 집광반사판의 형태, 집광반사판의 입사각, 광세기, 유량, 반응면적, $H_2O_2$의 효율, 그리고 광촉매 형태의 변화에 따라 실시하였다. Cu(II)와 DOC 제거율은 평판형의 집광반사판보다 반구형의 집광반사판 사용시 높게 나타났으며, 반사판의 각도를 $38^{\circ}$까지 증가시킬수록 제거속도 및 제거율이 각각 증가였다. $TiO_2$ 분말시스템은 $TiO_2$ 코팅 시스템보다 Cu(II)와 DOC 제거율에 있어서 약 4배 이상의 큰 제거율을 나타내어서 제거효율에 있어서는 우수한 것으로 조사되었다. Cu(II)와 DOC 모두 자외선 세기가 높은 맑은 날($0.372{\sim}2.265\;mW/cm^2$)에 제거효율이 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났는데, Cu(II)의 경우 흐린날($0.038{\sim}1.129\;mW/cm^2$에 비하여 약 3배, DOC의 경우 약 2배의 높은 제거율이 나타나서 광세기가 양자수율에 직접적으로 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. Cu(II)가 제거되는 경향은 반응기의 면적이 클수록 증가하였으며, 유량변동에는 비슷한 경향을 보였지만 일정유량 이상에서는 방해요인이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 코팅된 $TiO_2$를 광촉매로 사용하였을 때 $H_2O_2$ 농도증가에 따라 Cu(II)의 제거효율은 크게 증가하였지만 분말형 $TiO_2$ 사용시에는 이에 비해 $H_2O_2$ 주입효과가 크게 나타나지 않았다.

Salicylic acid degrades at different rates under UV-A light on $TiO_2$, ZnO, CuO, $Fe_2O_3$, $Fe_3O_4$ and $ZrO_2$ nanocrystals and all the oxides exhibit sustainable photocatalysis. While ZnO-photocatalysis displays Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics the others follow first order on [salicylic acid]. The degradation on all the oxides enhance with illumination intensity. Dissolved oxygen is essential for the photodegradation. ZnO is the most efficient photocatalyst to degrade salicylic acid. Besides serving as the effective photocatalyst to degrade salicylic acid it also acts as a bactericide and inactivates E.coli even in absence of direct light.

$Fe_2O_3/TiO_2$ nanocomposite were successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method using $Fe(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$ and $Ti(SO_4)_2$ as raw materials. Structural and textural features of the mixed oxide samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray. The effects of initial concentration of oxytetracycline (OTC), different competitive ions and organics on the photocatalytic degradation rate of OTC by the $Fe_2O_3/TiO_2$ nanocomposite were analyzed under UV and visible light irradiation. The results indicate that the optimized initial concentration of OTC was 50 mg/L to achieve the best photocatalytic efficiency. $Cu^{2+}$, $NH_4{^+}$, $C_3H_8O$ and EDTA in the aqueous suspension were found to suppress the degradation rate of OTC, whereas the effect of $NO_3{^-}$ and $H_2C_2O_4$ can be ignored.
