ACCOMPLISHMENT STATUS

The ortho nitrophenol was used for the degradation studies. The initial concentration of about 72ppm (0.517 mmoles) of o-nitrophenol was prepared using Millipore water throughout the experiments. About lOOmg of photocatalyst was used through out the studies. The o-nitrophenol solution with catalyst is sonicated for five minutes prior to the UV illumination. The solution was placed in a batch cylindrical reactor and is illuminated with 12-watts high pressure mercury vapour lamp. The reactor temperature was maintained at 300 C. Samples for analyses (each 10 ml) were withdrawn at fixed intervals of time from the irradiated solution and the catalyst was separated from the solution through a 0.45um cellulose acetate membrane filter.

The mineralisasion was monitored with the total organic carbon (TOC) using Schimadzu TOC analyzer. The photocatalytic disappearance off nitrophenol as a function of irradiation time was depicted. The catalyst used for the present study is prepared by solid-state interaction technique. Degussa P-25 TiO2 (BET surface area-50 m2/g) was used as a photocatalyst. The Ti02 was supported on different zeolites like HZSM-5 (Si02/Al2O3=30), Hb (Si02/Al2O3=20),HY (Si02/Al203=4.4), and are prepared from PQ corporation in USA; Conteka, Sweeden and from NCL Pune, India respectively.

The catalyst was prepared by through mixing of Zeolite and catalyst 2 to 15wt % Ti02 in an agate mortar with dry ethanol. The catalysts were dried by evaporation to remove ethanol, dried overnight in hot air oven at 393K and finally claimed at 673K for 6 hours. A series of samples were prepared with different wt % of AiO2 on each Zeolite using above procedure and are used for the present investigation.

Photocatalyst are characterized by techniques like XRD, BET surface area, TPD of NH3. X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples are recorded on Siemen D-5000 diffractometer using Ni-filtered Cu-Ka radiation. Diffraction patterns were taken in the 29 ranges 0-600C. The BET surface areas of the catalyst were determined by nitrogen adsorption at liquid nitrogen temperature (77K) in an all glass high-vaccum adsorption unit at 10-6 torr pressure. TPD of NH3 experiments are carried out on an Auto-chan 2910 (micromeritics USA) instruments.

Experiments are in progress in presence of oxygen with different Zeolite supports and precent loading of Ti02 to improve the rate of mineralization.
