Summary of the invention
To this problem that exists in the practical application, the present invention proposes a kind of directly synthetic porous TiO with single die wall of dispersion that utilizes
2The method of microballoon.Compare with the emulsion system of routine; Because of the organic solvent that do not use other as oil phase with can not use surfactant; Avoided some influences that processing brought of follow-up Recovery of Organic Solvent problem and surfactant, so this technology is simple, with low cost, and environmental protection.The TiO that is synthesized
2Microballoon is a kind of low-density and has the random network structure in a large amount of nano-scales cavity, and whole structures is made up of nanocrystal and nanometer space; In this dispersion, use or do not use surfactant to carry out that oil-water interface is stable can to obtain sphere and type spherical TiO respectively
2Microballoon; The average-size of microballoon (several micron) within the specific limits can be regulated through changing amount of surfactant; Prepared TiO
2Microballoon has compressible plastic deformation ability, and its specific area is 58~68 m
2/ g, hole diameter are 8.4~9.1 nm, and void volume fraction is 47~59 %.Spherolite shows that to the ultraviolet catalytic degradation experiment of methylene blue it has good photocatalytic activity.
The present invention realizes above-mentioned TiO
2The technical scheme of microballoon is: utilize the emulsifying technology principle, will directly form the emulsion oil-in-water dispersion as oil phase and water by the stable tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT) of acetylacetone,2,4-pentanedione (ACAC).Place hydrothermal treatment consists 24 h under 100~200 ℃ the condition then, obtain TiO
2Microballoon.Spherolite promptly can be used as photocatalyst applications behind 550 ℃ of heat treatment 0.5 h in air.Because titanium hydrolysis of alkoxide speed is very high, so it is stable to adopt the acetylacetone,2,4-pentanedione complexing agent that it is carried out complexing; Tetrabutyl titanate system and the water stable by acetylacetone,2,4-pentanedione have certain compatibility; And the butanols that produces after its hydrolysis can play certain stabilization on the interface of two phases; So the tetrabutyl titanate system as reactant can be dispersed into small drop in aqueous phase voluntarily under condition of stirring; Extra organic solvent need not be added as oil phase, and the surfactant of interface stability effect can be do not used.
A kind of high voidage and high specific area TiO
2The preparation method of microballoon, carry out according to following step:
(1) tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT) and acetylacetone,2,4-pentanedione (ACAC) are pressed the amount of substance ratio
