Preparation of Palygorskite Supported nano Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysts by Electrostatic Self assembly Method

Electrostatic self-assembly method (ESAM) was used to prepare palygorskite supported-nano titanium dioxide photocatalysts for the sake of improving the recovery and photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2, using titanium tetrachloride as Ti-precursor. The as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Methyl orange was used to estimate the photocatalytic acitivity of the materials. The effects of the calcination temperatures and silane dosage on the microstructure and photocatalytic properties of the samples were investigated. The results show that the palygorskite supported-nano titanium dioxide photocatalysts exhibit a synergistic effect of adsorption and photocatalysis on methyl orange. Photocatalysts prepared by ESAM method exhibit higher photocatalytic activity and recycle ability than that prepared by the traditional method.
