摘要
This study developed a novel C-doped floating-type TiO2/sepiolite composite. C-TiO2/Sep composites were synthesized using various carbon sources (glucose, acetic acid, acetylacetone) through a simple hydrothermal method, with a Ti to C molar ratio of 5 and a Ti to sepiolite ratio of 40 mmol/g. The floatable composites were obtained via hydrophobic modification using a stearic acid to product ratio of 0.7 mmol/g. The resulting composites were characterized using XRD, SEM, PL, XPS, and UV-vis. The results indicate that the chemical and morphological properties of the composites are significantly affected by the carbon source. Compared to undoped samples, the C-doped samples exhibit improved anatase phase stability and reduced grain sizes. The incorporation of C is predominantly exhibited as C-O-Ti-O, and the surfaces of the samples are modified with carbon photosensitizers. PL spectra and photocatalytic activity tests under visible light reveal that the CTHS-GLU (Hydrophobic Sepiolite with Carbon-Doped TiO2 Using Glucose as the Carbon Precursor) sample achieved an 80.78 % oil removal rate, demonstrating the best efficiency in oil spill remediation, which is attributed to Cdoping's reduced band gap, high adsorption capacity, uniform TiO2 distribution, and enhanced surface hydrophobicity.
