TiO2 photocatalysis
It is known that TiO2 exhibits good photocatalytic properties which could be used in various commercial applications such as water and air purification or photo-induced biodegradation of microbes. TiO2 occurs in nature in the form of three crystal polymorphs: anatase, brookite and rutile. For photocatalytic applications only anatase and rutile are of interest, however anatase shows greater phot...
متن کاملProtegrin-1: a broad-spectrum, rapidly microbicidal peptide with in vivo activity.
Protegrin-1 (PG-1) is a cysteine-rich, 18-residue beta-sheet peptide isolated from porcine leukocytes with antimicrobial activity against a broad range of microorganisms. The MICs of PG-1 against representative gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria ranged from 0.12 to 2 microg/ml. At these levels, PG-1 was rapidly bactericidal in vitro, reducing the number of viable CFU of either methicillin...
متن کاملCarbon-modified TiO2 for photocatalysis
Here we present a method to produce TiO2 nanocrystals coated by thin layer of graphitic carbon. The coating process was prepared via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with acetylene used as a carbon feedstock with TiO2 used as a substrate. Different temperatures (400°C and 500°C) and times (10, 20, and 60 s) of reaction were explored. The prepared nanocomposites were investigated by means of tran...
متن کاملTiO2 Photocatalysis and Diamond Electrode
This paper presents a simple process for making tellurium (Te) nanoand microtubes of widely varying dimensions with the multiscale processing (MSP) technique. In this process, the Te metal was placed in a borosilicate glass reaction vessel and a fuse quartz substrate was added. Th vessel was evacuated and seal d unde vacuum with a torch. Then, the vessel was heated under a temperatur gradient w...
متن کاملPosttreatment of olive mill wastewater by immobilized TiO2 photocatalysis.
A photocatalytic reactor with UV/TiO2 was used for the posttreatment of olive mill wastewater after anaerobic digestion. A factorial experimental design was adopted to determine the statistical significance of each parameter tested, namely, initial chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, treatment time and recirculation flow and possible interactions in three response variables: phenols, color and CO...
