Activation Energy for Dibenzofuran Desorption from Fe/TiO and Ce/TiO Photocatalysts Coated onto Glass Fibres

In this work, TiO 2 , Fe 3+ /TiO 2 and Ce 3+ /TiO 2 photocatalytic films were respectively immobilized on glass fibres via the sol—gel technique to prepare supported photocatalysts. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments were conducted to measure the TPD curves for the removal of dibenz...

description In this work, TiO 2 , Fe 3+ /TiO 2 and Ce 3+ /TiO 2 photocatalytic films were respectively immobilized on glass fibres via the sol—gel technique to prepare supported photocatalysts. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments were conducted to measure the TPD curves for the removal of dibenzofuran from these photocatalysts, from which the activation energy for dibenzofuran desorption from the photocatalyst surfaces was estimated. The results showed that the activation energies for dibenzofuran desorption from the photocatalysts TiO 2 , Ce 3+ /TiO 2 and Fe 3+ /TiO 2 coated separately onto the glass fibres were 16.41 kJ/mol, 22.55 kJ/mol and 33.59 kJ/mol, respectively, while the hardness values of the ions Fe 3+ , Ce 3+ and Ti 4+ were respectively 13.1 eV, 11.9 eV and 10.6 eV. The data indicated that the use of Fe 3+ or Ce 3+ ions for doping a TiO 2 photo-catalyst increased the local hardness of the doped TiO 2 photocatalyst surface. This, in turn, increased the activation energy for the desorption of dibenzofuran from such a TiO 2 photocatalyst surface.
