IMOBILIZAÇÃO DE DIÓXIDO DE TITÂNIO EM DIFERENTES MATERIAIS SUPORTE PARA O EMPREGO EM FOTOCATÁLISE HETEROGÊNEA

The technological bottleneck for the application of heterogeneous photocatalysis with titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the retention and reuse of the catalyst, which brings opportunities for studying techniques for its immobilization on solid supports. The main objective of this paper was to test different methods to effectively immobilize TiO2 on granular activated carbon (GAC), crushed ceramic material (CCM) and zeolite (ZEO) in order to use the catalyst for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal from aqueous solutions. For this, three TiO2 immobilization methods (1-immersion of the support in TiO2 slurry...
