This work presents the development of titanium dioxide (TiO2) film immobilized on circular glass sheets for photocatalytic degradation of caffeine under ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation. TiO2 was synthesized through the ultrasonic-assisted sol–gel method and immobilized on circular glass sheets by the doctor blade technique. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used to mix with the TiO2 precursor solution to enhance film adhesion on the glass surface. TiO2 film was mainly composed of anatase phase with a small amount of rutile phase. Caffeine removal was found to increase with increasing irradiation time. Caffeine (20 mg/L) in the synthetic wastewater could not be detected after 3 h of UVC irradiation. The reaction rate of caffeine degradation followed the pseudo-first-order model. The concentrated caffeine solutions required a longer irradiation time for degradation. The used TiO2-coated glass sheets could be easily separated from the treated wastewater and reusable. The caffeine removal efficiency of TiO2-coated glass sheets in each cycle maintained a high level (~100%) during fifteen consecutive cycles.

Aquaculture Wastewater

Antibiotic residues in aquaculture wastewater are considered as an emerging environmental problem, as they are not efficiently removed in wastewater treatment plants. To address this issue, we fabricated TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs), TiO2 nanowires on nanotube arrays (TNWs/TNAs), Au nanoparticle (NP)-decorated-TNAs, and TNWs/TNAs, which were applied for assessing the photocatalytic degradation of eight antibiotics, simultaneously. The TNAs and TNWs/TNAs were synthesized by anodization using an aqueous NH4F/ethylene glycol solution. Au NPs were synthesized by chemical reduction method, and used to decorate on TNAs and TNWs/TNAs. All the TiO2 nanostructures exhibited anatase phase and well-defined morphology. The photocatalytic performance of TNAs, TNWs/TNAs, Au-TNAs and Au-TNWs/TNAs was studied by monitoring the degradation of amoxicillin, ampicillin, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, lincomycin, vancomycin, sulfamethazine, and sulfamethoxazole under ultraviolet (UV)-visible (VIS), or VIS illumination by LC-MS/MS method. All the four kinds of nanomaterials degraded the antibiotics effectively and rapidly, in which most antibiotics were removed completely after 20 min treatment. The Au-TNWs/TNAs exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity in degradation of the eight antibiotics. For example, reaction rate constants of Au-TNWs/TNAs for degradation of lincomycin reached 0.26 min−1 and 0.096 min−1 under UV-VIS and VIS irradiation, respectively; and they were even higher for the other antibiotics. The excellent photocatalytic activity of Au-TNWs/TNAs was attributed to the synergistic effects of: (1) The larger surface area of TNWs/TNAs as compared to TNAs, and (2) surface plasmonic effect in Au NPs to enhance the visible light harvesting.

Titanium Dioxide Nanotube Arrays

This paper presents a novel approach for preparing titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TNTs) loaded with highly dispersed Br through an ultrasound aided photochemical route. The content of Br doped on the arrays was controlled by changing the concentration of NaBr and the ultrasound time. The Br doped TiO2nanotube arrays were characterized by SEM, XRD and UV–Vis spectrum. Doping the bromine did not basically affect the morphology of the surface of the TNTs, but part of the anatase phase transformed into rutile phase, which led to the formation of the mixed crystal and increased the photocatalytic activity. The results showed that Br doping significantly enhanced the photocatalytic degradation rate of titanium dioxide nanotube arrays under UV-light irradiation. The main factors which affected photocatalytic degradation of sugar wastewater were the illumination time and pH. The results showed that the longer the exposure time was, the initial pH of wastewater was more favorable to photocatalytic degradation of the sugar wastewater for the Br-TiO2nanotube arrays, and compared to undoped TiO2nanotube arrays Br doped TiO2nanotube arrays had better photocatalytic properties.

We explore different ways in which the human visual system can adapt for perceiving and categorizing the environment. There are various accounts of supervised (categorical) and unsupervised perceptual learning, and different perspectives on the functional relationship between perception and categorization. We suggest that common experimental designs are insufficient to differentiate between hypothesised perceptual learning mechanisms and reveal their possible interplay. We propose a relatively underutilized way of studying potential categorical effects on perception, and test the predictions of different perceptual learning models using a two-dimensional, interleaved categorization-plus-reconstruction task. We find evidence that human visual encodings adapt to the feature structure of the environment, allocate encoding resources with respect to categorization utility, and adapt to prevent miscategorizations.

TiO2 nanopowders were produced by sol-gel technique using TiCl4 as a starting material. For the preparation of crystalline anatase with developed surface area, this aqueous solution has been mixed with 0.05 M or 0.07 M (NH4)2SO4 solution in a temperature-controlled bath. The pH values of the suspension were 7, 8 or 9. According to the x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis the anatase crystallite sizes were about 12 nm, which coincided with the average particle size revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Raman scattering measurements have shown the presence of a small amount of highly disordered brookite phase in addition to dominant anatase phase with similar nanostructure in all synthesized powders. BET measurements revealed that all synthesized catalysts were fully mesoporous, except the sample synthesized with 0.07 M (NH4)2SO4 at pH=9, which had small amount of micropores. The photocatalytic degradation of herbicide Clomazone was carried out for both the pure active substance and as the commercial product (GAMIT 4-EC) under UV irradiation. The best photocatalytic efficiency was obtained for the catalyst with the largest specific surface area, confirming this parameter as crucial for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of the pure active substance and commercial product of herbicide Clomazone.
