This paper presents applicability of photocatalytic decomposition of methyl mercaptan using $TiO_2$. A quartz reactor was used in order to elucidate reaction pathway in photocatalytic decomposition of methyl mercaptan. Experimental results showed that more than 99.9% of methyl mercaptan was decomposed within 30 minutes. It was found that the photocatalytic decomposition of methyl mercaptan followed pseudo first order and its reaction coefficient was $0.05min^{-1}$ During 30 minutes in the photocatalytic reaction, the concentration of methyl mercaptan, dimethyl disulfide, $SO_2$, $H_2SO_4$, COS, $H_2S$ were determined. These results showed that 64% of methyl mercaptan were compensated for the increase in sulfur after 30 minutes through the mineralization. The proposed main photocatalytic decomposition pathway of methyl mercaptan was methyl $mercaptan{\rightarrow}dimethyl$ $disulfide{\rightarrow}SO_2{\rightarrow}H_2SO_4$.

본 연구에서는 시설물의 자기정화성능을 확보하기 위하여 이산화티탄 광촉매 용액을 코팅한 모르타르의 자기정화성능을 분석하였다. 광촉매 코팅 용액의 농도(1.5 %와 3.0 %), 초친수강화 용액 적용 유무 및 프라이머 용액의 사용 유무를 실험변수로 고려하였다. 광촉매 농도가 증가할수록 메틸렌블루 수용액의 색상 변화율이 증가하였으며, 이는 광촉매 농도가 증가할수록 자기정화성능이 증가하는 것을 나타낸다. 초친수성 광촉매 용액의 적용은 일반 광촉매 용액에 비해 자기정화성능을 다소 감소시킬 가능성이 있음을 나타낸다. 또한, 프라이머를 사용한 모르타르의 자기정화성능은 프라이머를 사용하지 않은 모르타르의 자기정화성능과 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지 않는다. 한편, 낮은 농도(1.5 %)로 코팅된 모르타르에 비해 높은 농도(3.0 %)로 코팅된 모르타르 시편 표면의 코팅 균열이 미세하여 상대적으로 큰 광촉매 반응면적을 확보하고 자기정화성능 증가에 유리한 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

The present paper examined the kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including gaseous trichloroethylene (TCE) and acetone. In this study, we examined the effects of the initial concentration of VOCs and the light intensity of ultra-violet (UV). A batch photo-reactor was specifically designed for this work. The photocatalytic degradation rate increased with the initial concentration of VOCs but remained almost constant beyond a certain concentration. It matched well with the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) kinetic model. When the effect of light intensity was concerned, it was found that photocatalytic degradation occurs in two regimes with respect to light intensity.

Thin film of $TiO_2$ deposited on carbon paper was fabricated by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) and $H_2O$ as precursors. In this work, the photocatalytic activities of $TiO_2$ films with and without e-beam treatment were compared. The samples were treated by e-beam using e-beam energy of 1MeV and exposure range between 5 and 15kGy. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyleneblue (MB) under UV irradiation (365nm) at room temperature using an UV-vis spectroscopy. The surface properties were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The sample treated by the low radiation dose has more catalytic activity than other ones. SEM images show that the high radiation dose caused the $TiO_2$ to aggregation on carbon paper. Due to the aggregation of $TiO_2$, the partially exposed carbon paper was oxidized.

This paper presents a study on the photocatalytic reaction about the composite particles of $TiO_2$-coated phosphors under visible light irradiation. Nanocrystalline titanium dioxide layers were directly coated on the alkaline earth aluminate phosphor, $CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},\;Nd^{3+}$ particles by an sol-gel processing method. The photocatalytic reaction was analyzed with the degradation of methylene blue (MB) aqueous solution under UV and visible light irradiations. $TiO_2$-coated phosphor powders showed different photocatalytic mechanism, compared with pure $TiO_2$ (P-25, Degussa). Under UV-irradiation, $TiO_2$-coated phosphor powders showed slow photocatalytic reactivity in the early stage and fast in the latter, compared with that of pure $TiO_2$. However, $TiO_2$-coated phosphor powders showed much faster photocatalytic reactivity than that of pure $TiO_2$ under visible irradiation. In addition, the characterizations of the $TiO_2$-coated phosphor powders were conducted by a X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

This paper describes the photocatalytic degradation properties by oxygen partial pressure for TiO$_2$ thin films fabricated by dc magnetron reactive sputtering.

아나타제 $TiO_{2}$, 활성탄, 세라믹섬유를 포함하는 VOC 흡착과 광산화분해 특성을 동시에 갖는 내구성이 우수한 광촉매 종이를 제조하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 광촉매 종이 제조용 슬러리 내에 함유되어 있는 $TiO_{2}$를 활성탄 및 세라믹섬유 표면에 선택적으로 결합시키기 위한 PDADMAC의 적정농도범위는 $10{\~}15ppm$이었으며, 제지방법에 의해 만들어진 광촉매 종이는 두께 0.4mm, 평량 $380g/m^{2}$을 나타내었다. 제조된 광촉매 종이는 활성탄에 의한 흡착과 $TiO_{2}$에 의한 광산화 분해 반응이 동시에 진행되어 이들 두 반응이 각각 단독으로 진행되는 VOC 제거용 소재에 비하여 아세트알에히드의 제거속도를 크게 증가시켰다. 또한 세라믹섬유-$TiO_{2}$, 활성탄-$TiO_{2}$의 선택적인 결합은 UV 조사시 $TiO_{2}$에 의한 기지내 유기물의 분해를 방지하여 내구성을 개선하는데 효과적이었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of photocatalysis using $TiO_2$ and UV applied for the COD reduction of wastewater in linerboard mill. Trials were done to obtain the optimum addition amounts of $TiO_2$ and $H_2O_2$ to the wastewater and find an appropriate pH condition for photocatalysis on $TiO_2$ for degrading COD. The photocatalytic reaction was applied to the wastewater collected after secondary activated sludge treatment in WWTP of linerboard mill. The optimum application of photocatalysis reaction was obtained under the addition conditions of 2 g/L of $TiO_2$ and 200 mg/L of $H_2O_2$ at pH 3.0, respectively. The removal efficiency of $SCOD_{Cr}$ by photocatalytic treatment was 86.4 % and higher than Fenton treatment in which removal efficiency was 67.4 %. It was concluded that the photocatalytic process using $TiO_2$ and UV could be applied to the wastewater treatment in linerboard mill and also to the dramatic drop-off in NBDCOD load from wastewater of tertiary treatment in WWTP.

Among various metal oxide semiconductors, ZnO has an excellent electrical, optical properties with a wide bandgap of 3.3 eV. It can be applied as a photocatalytic material due to its high absorption rate along with physical and chemical stability to UV light. In addition, it is important to control the morphology of ZnO because the size and shape of the ZnO make difference in physical properties. In this paper, we demonstrate synthesis of size-controlled ZnO tetrapods using an atmospheric pressure plasma system. A micro-sized Zn spherical powder was continuously introduced in the plume of the atmospheric plasma jet ignited with mixture of oxygen and nitrogen. The effect of plasma power and collection sites on ZnO nanostructure was investigated. After the plasma discharge for 10 min, the produced materials deposited inside the 60-cm-long quartz tube were obtained with respect to the distance from the plume. According to the SEM analysis, all the synthesized nanoparticles were found to be ZnO tetrapods ranging from 100 to 600-nm-diameter depending on both applied power and collection site. The photocatalytic efficiency was evaluated by color change of methylene blue solution using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity increased with the increase of (101) and (100) plane in ZnO tetrapods, which is caused by enhanced chemical effects of plasma process.

In this present paper, we prepared $MWCNT/TiO_2$ composites by using pre-oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different titanium alkoxide precursors in benzene solvent. The composites were comprehensively characterized by BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The photoactivity of the prepared materials, under UV irradiation, was tested using methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. Finally, according to the results of MB removal experiment, it can be considered that the MB degradation infect mainly caused by photocatalytic effect of $TiO_2$. Furthermore, the bactericidal test of the composites was also determined. It was indicated that $MWCNT/TiO_2$ composites with sunlight had greater effectiveness for B. cereus, S. aureus and E. coli than any other experimental conditions.
