摘要/Abstract

摘要： A set of metal nanoparticle-decorated titanium dioxide (M_x/TiO₂; where x is the percent by mass,%) photocatalysts was prepared via the sol-immobilization in order to enhance the simultaneous hydrogen (H₂) production and pollutant reduction from real biodiesel wastewater. Effect of the metal nanoparticle (NP) type (M = Ni, Au, Pt or Pd) and, for Pd, the amount (1 %-4 %) decorated on the surface of thermal treated commercial TiO₂ (T₄₀₀) was evaluated. The obtained results demonstrated that both the type and amount of decorated metal NPs did not significantly affect the pollutant reduction, measured in terms of the reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and oil & grease levels, but they affected the H₂ production rate from both deionized water and biodiesel wastewater, which can be ranked in the order of Pt₁/T₄₀₀ > Pd₁/T₄₀₀ > Au₁/T₄₀₀ > Ni₁/T₄₀₀. This was attributed to the high difference in work function between Pt and the parent T₄₀₀. However, the difference between Pt₁/T₄₀₀ and Pd₁/T₄₀₀ was not great and so from an economic consideration, Pd/TiO₂ was selected as appropriate for further evaluation. Among the four different Pd_x/TiO₂ photocatalysts, the Pd₃/TiO₂ demonstrated the highest activity and gave a high rate of H₂ production (up to 135 mmol·h^-1) with a COD, BOD and oil & grease reduction of 30.3%, 73.7% and 58.0%, respectively.
