Fabrication of biomaterial/TiO2 composite photocatalysts for the selective removal of trace environmental pollutants

doi:10.1016/j.cjche.2019.02.003

Abstract

Abstract: Trace environmental pollutants have become a serious problem with special attention on the hazardous heavy metals, refractory organics, and pathogenic microorganisms. With coupling biosorption and photocatalysis to develop biomaterial/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts is a promising method to remove these trace pollutants because of the synergistic effect. Biomaterials provide multiple function groups which can selectively and efficiently enrich trace pollutants onto the surface of the photocatalysts, thus facilitating the following transformation mediated by TiO₂ photocatalysis. Biomaterials can also help the dispersion and recovery of TiO₂, or even modify the band structure of TiO₂. The fabrication of chitosan/TiO₂, cellulose/TiO₂, as well as other biomaterial/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts is discussed in detail in this review. The application significance of these composite photocatalysts for the selective removal of trace pollutants is also addressed. Several problems should be solved before the realistic applications can be achieved as discussed in the final section.
