Based on the first-principles plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential (USPP) method, the crystal structures of α,β,γ, and 5-Bi2O3 were optimally calculated for the total density of states (TDOS) and the partial density of states (PDOS) of Bi, O atoms. The calculation for Ti(IV) doped Bi2O3 supercell was carried out. The effects of Ti(IV)-doping on the electron structures and light absorption properties of various Bi2O3 were analyzed. The results showed that Ti 3d orbital appeared in the forbidden band of Bi2O3 and hybridized with O 2p, Bi 6p orbitals. The narrowed band gap (Eg) and red-shift of light absorption edge are responsible for the enhanced photoeatalytic activity of Bi2O3. The Ⅱ-Bi2O3 and Ti-doped β-Bi2O3 were prepared by a hydrotherrnal synthesis method. The improvement of the photoeatalytic activity of Bi2O3 has also been verified by the characteristics of the UV-vis diffuse reflection spectrum and the experimental evaluation of the photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet in aqueous solution.展开更多

This model was then validated by the experiments of acetic acid degradation in aqueous solution. It was found that the correlation coefficient of fittings was higher than 0.970. Three key operating factors affecting organic degradation in the Ti(IV)-catalyzed H2O2/O3 process were studied, including Ti(IV) concentration, dissolved ozone concentration and initial H2O2 concentration. Furthermore, some experiments were conducted to determine the rate constant for dissolved ozone decomposition initiated by Ti2O52+. The rate constant measured is almost in accord with the data analyzed by this kinetic model. The goodness of fittings demonstrated that this model could well describe the kinetics of the Ti(IV)-catalyzed H2O2/O3 reaction mathematically and chemically. Therefore, this kinetic model can provide some useful information to optimize the parameters in ozonation of water containing certain pollutants.展开更多
