A new composite material was developed using modified TiO2-Kaolinite, cement, and wood fibers for the degradation of phenol in water. Characterization of the matrix was done using various techniques to confirm the dispersion of titania and the identification of its crystalline phase. The addition of TiO2 significantly enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency, with the highest activity shown by the 3% P90 composite material. The experimental data fitted well with a first-order kinetic model.
Photocatalysis is one of the most important process and was used to eliminate various organic pollutants as phenol in water. In this research study, a new composite containing Kaolinite, cement, and wood fibers modified by titanium oxide TiO2 was elaborated in order to be used in addition of building materials, as photocatalyst for the degradation of phenol. Different kinds and amounts of TiO2 (PC500, P90, and C-TiO2) were immobilized by a simple method inside the composite materials based. The matrix of the hybrid materials was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), N-2 adsorption-desorption (BET), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). These investigations confirmed the dispersion of titania in the new composite materials. The FTIR result has shown that clay particles were successfully treated before their insertion in the composite, by the appearance of two peaks at 2921-2851 cm(-1). The XRD results reveal the identification of crystalline phase of TiO2 as anatase. The photocatalytic activity of the composite materials was investigated towards degradation of phenol in aqueous solution under UV light irradiation (369 nm). It has been found that photocatalytic efficiency was significantly enhanced when TiO2 is added. The highest photocatalytic activity has been shown by 3% P90-comp of 41.65% in comparison with 3% PC500 and 3% C-TiO2 which are 29.88% and 22.64 %, respectively. It was shown that the experimental data of kinetic reaction are well fitted by first-order model.
