Abstract
Significant efforts have lately been dedicated to the development of visible light activated photocatalysts for the degradation of emerging pollutants in water. This study shows the impact of Rh addition on the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 in Diuron degradation through various experimental approaches and modelling. Three samples with different Rh loading (0.5 %, 1 %, and 2 %) were synthesized, characterized, and their activities were evaluated. It was observed that the activity of RhP25 improved under white light irradiation with increasing Rh content. At low Rh loadings the Rh atoms interact with Ti and may be stabilized in the TiO2 lattice. At higher loadings Rh interacts with the O atoms forming two different clusters Rh3O4 and Rh4O6 on the TiO2 surface. This phenomenon was evidenced by DFT, XPS and XRD results. The addition of Rh induce new electronic states in the TiO2 enhancing the visible light absorption. Photocatalytic experiments revealed a threefold increase in Diuron removal under white light irradiation for 2%RhP25 compared to P25, achieving 23 % degradation in comparison with the 7 % observed for the P25 without the Rh addition. Furthermore, repeated experiments did not show significant deterioration of the activity.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
