Abstract
In-site regenerated titanium dioxide-activated carbon fibers (TiO 2-ACFs) photocatalyst was prepared by the sol-gel method. Detailed surface and structural characterization of the TiO2-ACFs photocatalyst was carried out. The photoactivity of TiO2-ACFs under ultraviolet irradiation was compared with original ACFs and pure TiO2 by the degradation of methylene blue aqueous solution. The degradation efficiency by the TiO2 (5wt%)-ACFs sample is much higher than that by TiO2 and ACFs. The results show that the photocatalysis by TiO 2-ACFs is a six-step process. The adsorption-transfer-photocatalysis rate of TiO2-ACFs is higher than the adsorption-photocatalysis rate of TiO2, so the photocatalysis rate of the TiO2-ACFs system is higher than that of TiO2 photocatalyst.
