Popis: | Photocatalytic degradation of malathion, is investigated using Titanium Nanotubes (TNT) and Pt modified TNT (Pt-TNT) photocatalyst in an aqueous solution under 365 nm UV lamp irradiation. The TNT photocatalyst is prepared on pretreated strong alkaline solution via the hydrothermal method. The Pt-TNT was prepared by light deposition. The variations in morphology, formation mechanism, phase structure, and pore structure of TNT and Pt-TNT are characterized using UV-Vis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherm analyzer, respectively. The effect of the initial malathion concentration, reaction temperature, catalyst loading, solution pH value, irradiation time and Pt loading are studied and the optimized values are obtained. Moreover, the photodegradation performance and kinetics of malathion onto TNT and Pt-TNT are also examined with the aid of model analysis by kinetic data. The results show that under acid conditions, the performance of photocatalysts for treating malath... |
