ABSTRACT

Granular bamboo-derived active carbons (AC) were impregnated (or coated) with TiO2 nano crystalline powders. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2-impregnated active carbons (TiO2/AC) were determined on the basis of the degradation rate of methylene-blue aqueous solution under UV irradiation. The active compounds of TiO2 were impregnated onto the AC under moderate hydrothermal conditions (≤ 200oC, pH 11). The mean size of TiO2 particles calculated from BET surface area were found to be as 50 nm. The TiO2 precipitates were coated on the cavities or pores on the surfaces of highly activated carbons. Since the hydrothermal process led to a lowering of the on-set temperature of the anatase-torutile transition of TiO2 as low as 200oC, TiO2 crystallites of a pure anatase or a mixed form with rutile were successfully coated on the AC depending on the synthesis temperatures.
