摘要
Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesised using one pot method followed by calcination at 450 degrees C for 3 h and were tested for their photocatalytic efficacy in degradation of phenol both in free and immobilized form under solar light irradiation through batch experiments. Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles were found to be effective in solar photocatalytic degradation of phenol. The effect of factors such as pH, initial phenol concentration and catalyst loading on phenol degradation were evaluated and these factors were found to influence the process efficiency. The optimum values of these factors were determined to maximize the phenol degradation. The efficacy of nanoparticles immobilized on cellulose acetate film was inferior to that of free nanoparticles in solar photocatalysis due to light penetration problem and diffusional limitations. The performance of fluidized bed photocatalytic reactor operated under batch with recycle mode for solar photocatalysis of phenol with immobilized Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles was evaluated for large scale application. The performance was found to be dependent on catalyst loading and the optimum is governed by active catalyst sites and light penetration limitations. The photocatalytic degradation of phenol by Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles was only marginally influenced by the presence of small traces of chloride ions. Ag@TiO2 showed a better efficacy as solar photocatalyst than as UV photocatalyst in degradation of phenol. Solar light irradiation is recommended because solar energy, a readily available form of energy can be effectively harnessed for energy efficient, environment friendly and cost effective process. The kinetics of degradation of phenol was found to follow the nth order kinetics with order, n = 2.19 for solar photocatalysis. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
