Abstract [en]
Immobilizing catalyst system faces the challenge of balancing catalysts stability and exposure of active site in water treatment. In this study, a novel in-situ synthesis of monoclinic phase of titanium dioxide (TiO2(B)) in cellulose-derived carbon aerogel (TCA) is proposed for processing multi-task in water treat-ment. The homogeneous gelation reaction supported the high dispersion of TiO2(B) in carbon skeleton. Meanwhile, TiO2 acts as crosslinker to reinforce cellulose network, then the grain refinement of amor-phous TiO2 is limited to obtain TiO2(B) during carbonization. Benefiting from the reinforced structure, TCA remains the porous structure after carbonization and exposes more adsorption site than carbon aero-gel blended with anatase particles (ACA). The adsorption performance of TCA are 837.3 mg/g, 1156.2 mg/ g and 512.6 mg/g on methylene blue, malachite green and crystal violet, respectively. Compared with ACA, the superior interaction between TiO2 and graphite-like carbon improves the degradation rate of tetracycline from 1.3 x 10-3 min-1 to 8.6 x 10-3 min-1, and maintains the degradation efficiency in 3 rounds cyclic test. Besides, TCA also exhibits nearly twice to ACA on absorption capacity of differentoil. This facile in-situ synthesis method offers a new insight in fabricating carbon aerogel immobilized photocatalysts system for multi-task in water treatment.
