Background technology
Environmentally friendly photocatalysis technology has characteristics such as less energy-consumption, easy to operate, non-secondary pollution, and is expected to utilize sun power, shows wide application prospect in fields such as organic synthesis, photodissociation water, environmental improvements.Titanium oxide (TiO
2) have photocatalytic activity height, stable performance, non-secondary pollution and characteristics such as cheap and easy to get, be considered to the photocatalyst of tool application prospect.In the photocatalysis technology field, how to improve the quantum yield of light-catalyzed reaction, be to use a main difficult problem that is faced.The optical absorption edge boundary blue shift of the titanium oxide of nanoscale has higher Eo+; The nano-crystalline titanium dioxide that particle diameter is little can reduce the compound of light induced electron and photohole effectively, makes more electronics and cavity energy participate in oxidation-reduction reaction; Simultaneously, the surface energy that nano titanium oxide is huge adsorbs reactant from the teeth outwards, also helps the carrying out that reacts.Therefore, the great interest of nano titanium dioxide photocatalyst preparation work person in recent years.
At present, the preparation method of relevant nano titanium oxide mainly contains: hydrothermal synthesis method, control hydrolysis method, sol-gel method, microemulsion method, the precipitator method, chemical Vapor deposition process etc.Wherein sol-gel method is to be raw material with the titanium alkoxide, in organic medium, is hydrolyzed, polycondensation, makes solution behind colloidal sol, gelation process, and gel drying is sintered into the method for powder.The nano titanium oxide particle diameter of this method preparation is little, is evenly distributed good dispersivity.But owing to will be raw material with the titanium alkoxide, add a large amount of organic reagents again, cost is high.And this method directly calcines the precursor that drying obtains, and product is prone to reunite, and has limited the performance of the many excellent properties of product.
Summary of the invention
The present invention provides a kind of simple low temperature preparation technology in order to overcome the deficiency in existing nano titanic oxide sol-preparing gel technology, and the nano titanium oxide size distribution that obtains is even, and good dispersivity has been avoided the reunion between nano-titania particle.
The present invention provides a kind of method for preparing nano titanium oxide, comprises the steps:
A. the volume ratio by titanate and solvent is 1:2~5, preparation titanate solution;
B. gelatin being dissolved in preparation mass percent concentration in 75 ℃~85 ℃ the water is 0.5%~1.5% gelatin solution;
C. by said gelatin solution and titanate liquor capacity than 1:3~5, gelatin solution is added titanate solution, after stirring, with acid-conditioning solution pH value to 2~4, stirring is until obtaining gel;
D. with said gel put 45 ℃~50 ℃ oven drying 4-6 hour, obtain finely dispersed white powder;
E. said white powder is put into water and boil 10~30min, cross the leaching deposition, should precipitate and use water washing, use washing with alcohol then, seasoning in the air obtains nano titanium oxide.
Titanate among the step a is one or more the mixture in butyl(tetra)titanate, titanium propanolate and the titanium ethanolate.
Solvent among the step a is methyl alcohol, ethanol or propyl alcohol
Acid is nitric acid or hydrochloric acid described in the step c.
The number of times of washing with alcohol is 3 times among the step e.
Beneficial effect:
(1) preparation method of the present invention uses gelatin to form one deck organic protective film as tensio-active agent on the nano titanium oxide surface; The hypertrophy that has suppressed nano titanium oxide crystal grain; Hinder being in contact with one another between nanoparticle simultaneously, alleviated the reunion between nano-titania particle.The titanium dioxide nanoparticle size distribution that obtains is even.
(2) the creative hydrothermal method (using water boil, then washing) of using of preparation method of the present invention is removed the impurity such as gelatin in the dry precursor, and process washing and alcohol are washed and obtained nano-titanium dioxide powder.Only adopt the Air drying process in the method and, do not have high-temperature calcination technology, further avoided the reunion that high-temperature calcination produces between nano-titania particle with the water-heat process that deionized water boils.Prepared nano titanium oxide good dispersivity.
