To suppress the agglomeration of a photocatalyst, facilitate its recovery, and avoid photolysis of dyes, various support materials such as ceramic, carbon, and polymer have been investigated. However, these support materials pose the following additional challenges: ceramic supports will settle down at the bottom of their container due to their high density, while the carbon support will absorb the UV-vis light for its black color. Herein, we propose a floatable, UV transmitting, mesoporous bleached wood with most lignin removal to support P25 nanoparticles (BP-wood) that can effectively, recyclable, three dimensional (3D) photocatalytic degrade dyes such as methylene blue (MB) under ambient sunlight. The BP-wood has the following advantages: (1) The delignification makes the BP-wood more porous to not only quickly transport MB solutions upstream to the top surface, but is also decorated with P25 nanoparticles on the cell wall to form a 3D photocatalyst. (2) The delignification endows the BP-wood with good UV transmittance to undergo 3D photocatalytic degradation under sunlight. (3) It can float on the surface of the MB solution to capture more sunlight to enhance the photodegradation efficiency by suppressing the photolysis of MB. (4) It has comparable or even better photocatalytic degradation of 40 mg/L and 60 mg/L MB than that of P25 nanoparticles suspension. (5) It is green, recyclable, and scalable.

The present study is aimed to access the photodegradation efficiency of methylene blue dye using CoFe2O4 and Co0.1Al0.03Fe0.17O0.4 nanoparticles. The synthesis of spinel ferrites nanoparticles was performed by a facile sol-gel method. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDS, Nitrogen adsorption/desorption and UV–Visible spectroscopy. The XRD studies confirmed the spinel cubic structure of ferrite. It was also found that the crystallinity increases at an annealing temperature of 800 °C. The application of these nanoparticles for methylene blue’s photocatalytic degradation was explored and also the optimization of several parameters involving dye’s concentration, amount of catalyst and pH of the solution was done. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue showed that at pH 11, using 200 W visible light bulb and in 120 min; 93% methylene blue dye was degraded by using 0.1 g of Co0.1Al0.03Fe0.17O0.4.

Nanopillars-TiO2 thin films was obtained on a borosilicate glass substrate with (S1) and without (S2) polyethylene glycol as template. The photocatalytic behaviour of S1 and S2 thin films was assessed inthe degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solution under batch reactor operations. The thin films were characterized by the SEM, XRD, FTIR and AFM analytical methods. BET specific surface area and pore sizes were also obtained. The XRD data confirmed that the TiO2 particles are in its anatase mineral phase. The SEM and AFM images indicated the catalyst is composed with nanosized pillars of TiO2, evenly distributed on the surface of the substrate. The BET specific surface area and pore sizes of S1 and S2 catalyst were found to be 5.217 and 1.420 m2/g and 7.77 and 4.16 nm respectively. The photocatalytic degradation of MB was well studied at wide range of physico-chemical parameters. The effect of solution pH (pH 4.0 to 10.0) and MB initial concentration (1.0 to 10.0 mg/L) was extensively studied and the effect of several interfering ions, i.e., cadmium nitrate, copper sulfate, zinc chloride, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, glycine, oxalic acid and EDTA in the photocatalytic degradation of MB was demonstrated. The maximum percent removal of MB was observed at pH 8.0 beyond which it started decreasing and a low initial concentration of the pollutant highly favoured the photocatalytic degradation using thin films and the presence of several interfering ions diminished the photocatalytic activity of thin films to some extent. The overall photocatalytic activity was in the order: S2 > S1 > UV. The photocatalytic degradation of MB was followed the pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. The mineralization of MB was studied with total organic carbon measurement using the TOC (total organic carbon) analysis.
