研究目的
To synthesize and apply a PANI supported Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite for the enhanced degradation of Bisphenol A (BPA) in water under UV and visible light irradiation.
研究成果
The PANI supported Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite effectively degrades BPA under both UV and visible light, with up to 99.7% removal, due to reduced band gap, enhanced charge separation, and dominant roles of holes and superoxide radicals. It is reusable for multiple cycles with minimal efficiency loss, demonstrating potential for practical water treatment applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to laboratory-scale experiments with specific catalyst loadings and BPA concentrations; scalability to industrial applications may require optimization. The nanocomposite's performance under natural sunlight or varied water matrices was not tested. Potential limitations include the cost of silver and the stability of PANI over long-term use.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing TiO2 nanofibers hydrothermally, depositing Ag nanoparticles via photo-reduction, and coating with PANI via oxidative polymerization to create a nanocomposite for photocatalytic degradation of BPA. Theoretical models included Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics for degradation analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
BPA solutions at 5 mg/L concentration were used as the pollutant. Catalysts included pristine TiO2, Ag@TiO2, and Ag@TiO2-PANI nanocomposites.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Raman microscope, XRD diffractometer, BET analyzer, SEM, TEM, XPS spectrophotometer, TGA analyzer, fluorescence spectrometer, HPLC system, UV lamp (400 W mercury), visible light lamp (500 W halogen), and autoclave. Materials included aniline, AgNO3, TTIP, isopropyl alcohol, acetic acid, NaOH, HNO3, FeCl3, methanol, acetonitrile, HCl, KI, benzoquinone, ethanol, acetone, and ultrapure water.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis steps: TiO2 nanofibers via hydrothermal method, Ag@TiO2 via photo-reduction, Ag@TiO2-PANI via polymerization. Photocatalytic tests: Adsorption equilibrium in dark for 30 min, irradiation with UV or visible light, sampling at intervals, filtration, and HPLC analysis for BPA concentration.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Degradation efficiency calculated using concentration changes, kinetics analyzed with Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, statistical reproducibility ensured by triplicate measurements.
