Abstract:

In order to investigate the effect of TiO2 particle sizes on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2-coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers, nano-scaled TiO2 particles were loaded on the surface of PET fibers treated with titanium sulfate, urea and polyethylene glycol as raw materials by a hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye solution by the TiO2-coated PET fibers was measured under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The reasons for the improvement of photoactivity by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a dispersing agent were studied by scanning electron microscope, laser particle size analyzer, X-ray diffraction, and so on. It is found that the particle size and loading amount of TiO2 nanoparticles loaded on PET fibers are affected by the dosage and molecular weight of PEG used. In comparison with the TiO2-coated PET fibers without adding PEG, the TiO2-coated PET fibers treated with 12.5 mL/L of PEG400 can efficiently photodegrade the MB dye solution due to the small average particle size of 9.4 nm TiO2 particles. In addition, the total organic carbon(TOC) contents of methylene blue dye aqueous solution in the presence of TiO2-coated PET fibers decrease from 0.001 11% to 0.000 46% after being exposed to 120 min of UV irradiation.

Key words: dyeing wastewater, polyethylene terephthalte fiber, nano-scaled TiO2, polyethylene glycol, methylene blue dye, photocatalytic degradation
