The present work investigates the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of biorecalcitrant macrolide antibiotics in a circulating tubular photoreactor. As target pollutants, spiramycin (SPM) and tylosin (TYL) were considered in this study. The photoreactor leads to the use of an immobilized titanium dioxide on non-woven paper under artificial UV-lamp irradiation. Maximum removal efficiency was ...

The presented investigation focuses on the development of a novel microgap reactor concept for photocatalytic degradation micropollutants from aqueous solutions with titanium dioxide-based catalysts immobilized by spray coating. Combinatorial experiment designs were utilized in order to study influence width, irradiance and catalyst layer thickness conversion 17 ?-ethinyl estradiol. impact cata...

Selective synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO2) polymorphs including anatase, rutile, brookite and TiO2(B) by solvothermal treatment of water-soluble titanium complexes is described with a special focus on their morphological control. The utilization of watersoluble titanium complexes as a raw material allowed us to employ various additives in the synthesis of TiO2. As a result, the selective sy...

Nanocrystals of Titanium dioxide were prepared via sol-gel and solvothermal method. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy studies. The anatase and rutile phase reflections of the Titanium dioxide nanocrystals were identified by X-ray diffraction data. The micro strain value of the nanocrystals were analysed by W-H plot method. Very small value of micro st...

Combined reflectance, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, and conventional voltammetric measurements on high-area titanium dioxide electrodes in dry, electrolyte-containing solutions of acetonitrile show that electron accumulation layer formation is coupled directly to intercalation (e.g., Li+ or Na+) or to reversible adsorption (tetrabutylammonium ion) of charge compensating cations. ...

We have investigated the impact of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on the ionic contamination of liquid crystals. Nematic liquid crystals with high and low initial ionic contamination have been examined. It has been shown that titanium dioxide nanoparticles reduced the ion density of liquid crystals with high initial ionic contamination from 134.5 × 1012 cm-3 to 63.2 × 1012 cm-3. In the case of ...

The effects of five UICC asbestos samples, titanium dioxide, and quartz on the bovine red cell membrane have been studied in erythrocyte ghosts by the spin labelling technique. Analysis of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of two sulphydryl reactive spin labels and one fatty acid spin label in red cell ghosts showed modifications in membrane protein after asbestos treatment but ...

Titanium dioxide nanopowders doped with different amounts of Fe ions were prepared by coprecipitation method. Obtained materials were characterized by structural (XRD), morphological (TEM and SEM), optical (UV/vis reflection and photoluminescence, and Raman), and analytical techniques (XPS and ICP-OES). XRD analysis revealed rutile crystalline phase for doped and undoped titanium dioxide obtain...
