Abstract:
The photocatalytic degradation of bromomethane in airstreams was studied over the TiO2 catalysts prepared by sol-gel method. The influence of calcination temperature, reaction temperature, the residual NO-3 in catalyst and water vapor on the structure of catalysts and their photocatalytic performance was examined by means of X-ray diffraction technique, N2 sorption analysis with BET method, FTIR spectroscopy and photocatalytic activity measurement. The results showed that the photocatalytic decomposition of CH3Br followed first-order kinetics, and the apparent activation energy was determined to be 13.7 kJ/mol. The distinct deactivation of TiO2 catalysts for the photocatalytic oxidation of bromomethane was observed in the initial period of reaction. Some factors such as high calcination temperature, the residual NO-3 and water vapor in the feed stream decreased the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 catalysts. However, the reactivity of bromomethane is greatly enhanced at increasing reaction temperatures. The effect of raising reaction temperature has been ascribed to decreasing adsorption of water.
