Abstract
I n various advanced oxidation processes, photocatalysis is a promising and efficient way? to remove natural organic matter consisting of humic acids and fulvic acids. The principle of this method involves both usage of a semiconductor photocatalyst and O2 for the generation of radicals. Among them, TiO2 photocatalysis is the most popular and studied one since TiO has unique properties such as being chemically inert, photocatalytically stable, Phone: +90 386 280 3104cheap, non-toxic, environmentally benign and exhibiting high oxidative power. However, despite all the advantages of using TiO2 as a photocatalyst, there is a major disadvantage. Since TiO2 has a broad band gap, its usage widely under solar light is limited and only allows to be active under UV light. Doping is one of the most popular methods to enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 via using metal or non-metal species as dopants. In this respect, solar light sensitive TiO2 photocatalyst, C, N, S, Se doped and S/N codoped TiO2 photocatalysts were synthesized by using wet-impregnation method. These doped photocatalysts were characterized by Raman spectroscopy to determine the crystal surface morphology. Moreover, methylene blue was used to investigate the photocatalytic performance of prepared doped TiO2 photocatalysts in the presence or absence of organic matrix. Photocatalytic experiments were performed using a solar light simulating photoreactor. Humic acid characterization was monitored by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy
