Abstract

The photocatalytic degradation of gaseous formaldehyde using Ag/F/N/W-doped titanium dioxide was examined. The photocatalytic reaction was conducted using photocatalysts immobilized on glass tubular reactors illuminated under blue LED lights. Factors affecting gaseous formaldehyde degradation such as photocatalyst's calcination time and dosage, initial formaldehyde concentration, light intensity and operating temperature were studied. Results show that the photocatalytic degradation rate increases with pollutant concentration indicating no mass transfer limitations within the formaldehyde concentration range used. The photodegradation of the formaldehyde using catalyst calcined for 5 h reached ∼88%. The photocatalyst concentration giving the highest degradation rate is found to be 0.10 gL. Which means that upon increasing the concentration of the immobilized photocatalysts will increase its thickness and it may not increase the number of the photo-induced particles. On the other hand, increasing light intensity and operating temperature increased the photocatalytic degradation of gaseous formaldehyde. The maximum light intensity and operating temperature were measured at 25 Wm and 40 °C, respectively. Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic type model was used to describe the photocatalytic reaction. The photocatalytic degradation behavior of gaseous formaldehyde on the modified photocatalyst follows a pseudo-first order rate equation based on a Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic type model.
