摘要
A vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp was used as the irradiation of photocatalysis to enhance the degradation of methylene blue (MB), a model dye compound. In contrast to photocatalysis under 254 nm UV irradiation (UV/TiO2), photocatalysis under VUV irradiation (VUV/TiO2) exhibited much higher efficiency in MB degradation and mineralization and needed less TiO2 dosage. The rate constant of MB degradation in VUV/TiO2 (0.0793 min(-1)) is about 4 times of that of UV/TiO2 (0.0205 min(-1)). The MB mineralization rate is also greatly increased from 12.5% in UV/TiO2 to 47.7% in VUV/TiO2 after 60 min of irradiation. Multiple advanced oxidation processes including photocatalytic oxidation and VUV photo-oxidation coexist in VUV/TiO2 to substantially produce highly reactive species (such as (OH)-O-center dot and energetic photons), which is responsible for efficient degradation and mineralization of MB.
