Metal oxide photocatalysts are widely studied for applications in solar driven environmental remediation, antimicrobial activity, hydrogen production and CO<sub>2</sub> reduction to fuels. Common requirements for each technology include absorption of visible light, reduced charge carrier recombination and the ability to activate the initial molecule be it a pollutant, water or CO<sub>2</sub>. The leading photocatalyst is some form of TiO<sub>2</sub>. A significant amount of work has been undertaken to modifying TiO<sub>2</sub> to induce visible light absorption. The structure and composition of the catalyst should facilitate separation of electrons and holes and having active sites on the catalyst is important to promote the initial adsorption and activation of molecules of interest. In this paper we present a first principles density functional theory (DFT) study of the modification of rutile TiO<sub>2</sub> (110) with nanoclusters of the alkaline earth metal oxides (MgO, Ca, BaO) and we focus on the effect of surface modification on the key catalyst properties. The modification of rutile TiO<sub>2</sub> with CaO and BaO induces a predicted red shift in light absorption. In all cases, photoexcited electrons and holes localise on oxygen in the nanocluster and surface Ti sites, thus enhancing charge separation. The presence of these non-bulk alkaline earth oxide nanoclusters provides highly active sites for water and CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption. On MgO-rutile, water adsorbs molecularly and overcomes a barrier of only 0.36 eV for dissociation whereby hydroxyls are stabilised. On CaO- and BaO-modified rutile water adsorbs dissociatively. We attribute this to the high lying O 2p states in the alkaline earth oxide modifiers which are available to interact with water, as well as the non-bulk like geometry around the active site. Upon adsorption of CO<sub>2</sub> the preferred binding mode is as a tridentate carbonate-like species, as characterised by geometry and vibrational modes. The carbonate is bound by up to 4 eV. Thus these heterostructures can be interesting for CO<sub>2</sub> capture, helping alleviate the problem of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions.

TiO2 photocatalysts doped with alkaline-earth metal ions were prepared by the impregnation and coprecipitation methods. The sample were characterized by XRD, XPS and IR spectroscopy. Their activities were evaluated by the photocatalytic production of hydrogen. The activities of the doped photocatalysts dopended on the size of the dopant ions and the doping method. The optimum molar contents of dopant ions Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ were 1.25, 1.25, 2.25, 2.25 and 2.25 at. %, respectively. The optimum calcination temperature and time were 400?C and 1 h. .

A novel metastable layered titanium phosphate has been synthesized by the treatment of layered titanates (Na2Ti3O7 and Na4Ti9O20) with 1–2 M phosphoric acid solution at 120–150 °C. Based on the data of 31P MAS NMR and IR spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction, and thermal and elemental analysis, the formula Ti2O3(H2PO4)2 · 2H2O was assigned to the novel compound. The layered nature of the compound was confirmed from n-alkylamine intercalation and the ion exchange behavior toward alkali, alkaline earth, and some transition metal ions.

The aim of the study was the regeneration of used oils. The change in the conditions for the regeneration of used engine oil as a result of adsorptive cleaning with alkaline earth clay from the Navbakhor deposit has been studied. The carried-out regeneration allows almost completely removing mechanical impurities, moisture from the waste oil and helps to clarify it. The optimal conditions for regeneration have been established. The removal of secondary products formed during the use of engine oil while retaining the main components that determine the serviceability of the product has been established. By means of IR spectroscopy, as a result, the possibility of using clay from the Navbakhor deposit for adsorption purification of used engine oil was determined.
