Preparation of nanosized TiO2 supported on activated alumina by a sonochemical method: observation of an increased photocatalytic decolourisation efficiency

Preparation of nanosized TiO2 supported on activated alumina by a sonochemical method:... Nanosized TiO2 supported on activated alumina was prepared using a sonochemical method. To prepare this supported material, direct immersion horn and cup horn ultrasonic systems were used. The efficiency of the sonochemical coating process was determined by UV photodecolourisation of the aqueous methyl orange solution. It was found that TiO2 supported on activated alumina prepared by the sonochemical method gave the maximum decolourisation efficiency. In that method itself, direct immersion horn gave a higher photodecolourisation activity as compared to the cup horn. The obtained results suggest that the direct immersion horn results in uniform, as well as a maximum number of TiO2 particles to be adsorbed on an activated alumina surface. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Research on Chemical Intermediates Springer Journals

Abstract

Nanosized TiO2 supported on activated alumina was prepared using a sonochemical method. To prepare this supported material, direct immersion horn and cup horn ultrasonic systems were used. The efficiency of the sonochemical coating process was determined by UV photodecolourisation of the aqueous methyl orange solution. It was found that TiO2 supported on activated alumina prepared by the sonochemical method gave the maximum decolourisation efficiency. In that method itself, direct immersion horn gave a higher photodecolourisation activity as compared to the cup horn. The obtained results suggest that the direct immersion horn results in uniform, as well as a maximum number of TiO2 particles to be adsorbed on an activated alumina surface.
