The effect of graphitized carbon on the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue over TiO(2)/C composites

The TiO(2)/C composites with approximately 40 wt% of carbon were prepared by calcination of precursors, formed from a one-pot liquid phase reaction between Ti(SO(4))(2) and flour. All TiO(2)/C composites displayed mesoporous structures with high BET surface areas (117–138 m(2) g(−1)) and small cryst...

description The TiO(2)/C composites with approximately 40 wt% of carbon were prepared by calcination of precursors, formed from a one-pot liquid phase reaction between Ti(SO(4))(2) and flour. All TiO(2)/C composites displayed mesoporous structures with high BET surface areas (117–138 m(2) g(−1)) and small crystal sizes of TiO(2) (8–27 nm). The contents of graphitic carbon and rutile TiO(2) increased, while the surface area and TiO(2) crystal size decreased for the TiO(2)/C composite on increasing the calcination temperature from 650 to 800 °C; when calcinated at 800 °C, the anatase TiO(2) completely changed into rutile TiO(2) in the TiO(2)/C composite. The TiO(2)/C composite calcinated at higher temperatures exhibited better adsorptive and photocatalytic degradation performance in the removal of methylene blue (MB). For the entire rutile TiO(2)/C-800 composite, the adsorption process of MB can be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and is governed by chemical adsorption with the maximum adsorption capacity value equal to about 15 mg g(−1). Under continuous illumination with a 254 nm UV lamp (15 W) for 3 h, the percentage of MB (14 mg l(−1)) photocatalytic degradation on 50 mg of TiO(2)/C-800 was 25.1% higher than that of the maximum adsorption removal. These results suggest that the graphitized carbon has a significant effect on the adsorptivity and photocatalytic activity of the TiO(2)/C composite.
