Mechanism Investigation of Visible Light-Induced Degradation in a Heterogeneous TiO2/Eosin Y/Rhodamine B System

Yin, Mingcai, Li, Zhaosheng, Kou, Jiahui, Zou, Zhigang·2009·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

Visible light-induced degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and eosin Y (EO) in a heterogeneous TiO(2) P-25/EO/RhB system was investigated in the present work. The results showed that the photodegradation of RhB is enhanced significantly when EO is introduced into the P-25/RhB system. Under optimal conditions (50 mg P-25, 20 mg L(-1) EO), RhB (4 mg L(-1)) almost decomposed completely after 35 min of visible light irradiation, though EO was photodegraded simultaneously. The possible photodegradation mechanism was studied by the examination of active species HO*, O(2)(*-) anions, or dye radical cations through adding their scavengers such as methanol, t-butanol, benzoquinone, EDTA, and the I(-) anion. In addition, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping technique was also used to monitor the active oxygen species formed in the photocatalytic process. Combined with the contrastive experiments under different atmospheres (N(2)-purged or air) and in different systems, it can be deduced that dissolved O(2) plays a crucial role in dye photodegradation and the O(2)(*-) anion is possibly the major active oxygen species. The low degradation rate with the introduction of EDTA or I(-) indicated that dye radical cations also play a part in photodegradation. Furthermore, except for the dye-sensitized photodegradation on the P-25 surface, reaction in bulk solution also occurs in this system, leading to effective photodegradation of RhB.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
