Background technology
Environmentally friendly photocatalysis technology has the features such as less energy-consumption, easy to operate, non-secondary pollution, and is expected to utilize sun power, in fields such as organic synthesis, photodissociation water, environmental improvements, shows wide application prospect.Titanium dioxide (TiO
2) have that photocatalytic activity is high, stable performance, non-secondary pollution and the feature such as cheap and easy to get, be considered to the photocatalyst of tool application prospect.In photocatalysis technology field, how to improve the quantum yield of light-catalyzed reaction, be the main bugbear that application faces.The optical absorption edge band border blue shift of the titanium dioxide 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; Meanwhile, the surface that nano titanium oxide is huge can by reactant absorption from the teeth outwards, also be conducive to the carrying out of reaction.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, controlled hydrolysis method, sol-gel method, microemulsion method, the precipitator method, chemical Vapor deposition process etc.Wherein sol-gel method is to take titanium alkoxide as raw material, is hydrolyzed, polycondensation in organic medium, makes solution after colloidal sol, gelation process, and gel drying is sintered into the method for powder.The standby nano titanium oxide particle diameter of this legal system is little, is evenly distributed, and good dispersity.But owing to will take titanium alkoxide as raw material, add again a large amount of organic reagents, cost is high.And this method directly calcines the dry precursor obtaining, product is easily reunited, and has limited the performance of the many excellent properties of product.
Summary of the invention
The present invention, in order to overcome the deficiency in existing nano titanic oxide sol-gel technology of preparing, provides a kind of simple low temperature preparation technology, and the nano titanium oxide size distribution obtaining is even, and good dispersity has been avoided the reunion between nano-titania particle.
The invention provides a kind of method of preparing nano titanium oxide, comprise the steps:
A. by the volume ratio of titanate and solvent, be 1:2~5, preparation titanate solution;
B. gelatin is dissolved in in the water of 75 ℃~85 ℃, to prepare mass percent concentration be 0.5%~1.5% gelatin solution;
C. by described gelatin solution with titanate liquor capacity than 1:3~5, gelatin solution is added to titanate solution, after stirring, with acid-conditioning solution pH value to 2~4, stirring is until obtain gel;
D. described gel is put to 45 ℃~50 ℃ oven drying 4-6 hour, obtained finely dispersed white powder;
E. described white powder is put into water and boil 10~30min, cross leaching precipitation, this precipitation is washed with water, then use washing with alcohol, seasoning in air, obtains nano titanium oxide.
Titanate in step a is one or more the mixture in butyl (tetra) titanate, titanium propanolate and titanium ethanolate.
Solvent in step a is methyl alcohol, ethanol or propyl alcohol
Described in step c, acid is nitric acid or hydrochloric acid.
In step e, the number of times of washing with alcohol is 3 times.
beneficial effect:
(1) preparation method of the present invention uses gelatin on nano titanium oxide surface, to form one deck organic protective film as tensio-active agent; 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 obtaining is even.
(2) the creative hydrothermal method (with water boil, then washing) of using of preparation method of the present invention is removed the impurity such as gelatin in dry precursor, through washing and alcohol wash, obtains nano-titanium dioxide powder.The water-heat process that only adopts Air drying process and boil with deionized water in method, does not have high-temperature calcination technique, has further avoided the reunion that between nano-titania particle, high-temperature calcination produces.Prepared nano titanium oxide good dispersity.
