Abstract

Inorganic particles were successfully grown on cellulose surface using a mixture solution of boric acid and titanium ammonium fluoride by hydrothermal method. The synthesis was performed in a sealed atmosphere under optimized conditions, at temperatures between 50 øC and 130 øC. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses indicate a direct correlation between morphology and microstructure. The formation of TiO2/cellulose composites, whose characteristics depend on the reaction temperature, is proposed to result from the synergistic combination of liquid/solid mechanism. The photocatalytic performances of various composites in the degradation of the methyl orange solution are investigated and compared to pure P25 powder without any treatment. The obtained results show a higher activity in the case of composites due to their peculiar morphology. Such the composite materials with the desirable degradation ability exhibit great potential, as they may be selectively used in the present widespread sewage treatment with different major sources of pollution.
