Abstract  

Bi4Ti3O12/SiO2 photocatalytic material coated quartz sand was prepared by sol-gel method. The effect of deposition process on physical property and photocatalytic activity of the deposited Bi4Ti3O12 were studied. The deposited Bi4Ti3O12 shows a layered perovskite structure on the surface of the amorphous quartz sand. Whlie the deposition process does not alter the electron binding energies of the deposited Bi4Ti3O12. The adsorption of reactive brilliant red X-3B on pure Bi4Ti3O12 and xBi4Ti3O12/SiO2 with different deposited among χ is not more than 3%. Photocatalytic activity of the deposited Bi4Ti3O12 is enhanced, among others the Bi4Ti3O12/SiO2 with 50 mass% Bi4Ti3O12 has the maximum activity. The rate constants of photocatalytic reactions for Bi4Ti3O12 and 50%Bi4Ti3O12/SiO2 are 0.021 s-1 and 0.027 s-1 respectively.
