摘要

A novel photocatalyst, natural hematite supported TiO2 (TiO2/Nat-Hem), was successfully synthesized by chemical vapor deposition method. The TiO2/Nat-Hem catalyst was characterized by different physicochemical analyses such as XRD, BET, XRF, FT-IR and SEM–EDX. XRD results indicated the presence of titanium oxide in two phases of anatase and rutile. On the other hand, BET analysis showed that the specific surface area of natural hematite (Nat-Hem) increased from 7.83 to 37.52 m2/g, demonstrating the attachment of TiO2 on its external surface. In addition, SEM–EDX analysis mentioned that 7.86 wt% of titanium element was dispersed on the surface of the prepared catalyst, while the FT-IR spectrum of prepared catalyst indicated the existence of (Ti–O) groups. The catalytic performance of the TiO2/Nat-Hem catalyst has been evaluated in the photodegradation of Orange G (OG) dye. The influence of experimental parameters (H2O2 concentration, pH solution and deposited titanium content) on the kinetics degradation of the dye was considered. A percentage of OG discoloration equal to 95% was obtained under optimal conditions (0.01 mol/L H2O2, pH close to 5 and a deposited titanium content of 13.78%). Monitoring of the disappearance of OG coloring during reaction was performed by measuring the TOC and COD parameters. The TiO2/Nat-Hem catalyst exhibits high stability after reuse for three consecutive OG degradation cycles. Natural hematite has proven to be a suitable oxidant and support for depositing well-dispersed and very active TiO2 phases.
