저가형 TiO2 광촉매의 개발과 광촉매의 활용범위를 확대하고자, 석탄회를 지지체로 이용하여 TiO2 광촉매를 제조하였다. 석탄회 표면에 TiO2 입자의 피복은 침전법에 의해서 수행되었다. TiO2의 공급원으로는 TiCl4수용액과 침전제로는 NH4HCO3가 사용되었다. 이들의 중화반응에 의해 석탄회 표면에 생성되는 Ti(OH)44는 300~700˚C의 열처리 과정에서 산화되었다. 여기서 생성된 TiO2의 결정구조는 anatase형을 나타내었다. 피복 TiO2의 결정립 크기는 열처리 온도의 상승에 따라 증가하였으나, NO가스의 제거능은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. TiO2피복 석탄회를 300~400˚C의 온도 범위에서 2시간 동안 열처리할 경우, TiO2의 결정립 크기는 약 9nm이었고, 질소산화물 제거율은 85~92%이었다. 또한, TiO2피복 석탄회의 백색도는 TiO2의 피복량이 증가할수록 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 상승하는 경향을 나타내었다.

Cosmetic industries have recently developed sun-block products, which are composed of W/O or O/W emulsion system. It was very difficult for waterproofing product to show the stability in W/O emulsion with TiO2. To enhance the stability of W/O emulsion, it needs to be combined with the water and oil soluble components as the gelling agents. The emulsifiers used in W/O were 3.0% of cetyl dimethicone copolyol, 2.0% of sorbitan sesquioleate as the basic emulsifiers, and 0.6% of quaternium-18 bentonite and 1.5% of dextrin palmitate as stabilizer were used. The content of titanium dioxide was optimized up to 8.0%. Titanium dioxide was used as the UV scattering powder coated with Al2O3(UV-sperse T40/TN). The sunscreen cream prepared with W/O emulsion system by using QB and DP showed higher stability than that of W/O emulsion system by using each QB and DP. W/O emulsion from Formula 3 for passing one year was very durable more than F1 and F2. Within W/O emulsion by observing F1, F2 and F3 for one year, F3 was more excellent than F2 and F3 when they were observed at RT, 4℃, 40℃, because F3 used the mixed QB and DP in W/O emulsion. The zeta potential for F1, F2, and F3 after one year were 21, 30 and 43, respectively. From these result F3 was found best stable emulsion. The in-vitro SPF value for F3 was 35 for the initial product at room temperature and also, the in-vitro SPF values of F3 was 32 for after one year. Finally, the mean in-vivo SPF value of 10 volunteers for F3 was 27.3 by the Korea cosmetic association made the rules of SPF.

Enhancing with non-metallic elemental nitrogen(N) is one of several methods that have been proposed to modify the electronic properties of bulk titanium dioxide(TiO2), in order to make TiO2 effective under visible-light irradiation. Accordingly, current study evaluated the feasibility of applying visible-light-induced TiO2 enhanced with N element to cleanse aromatic compounds, focusing on xylene isomers at indoor air quality(IAQ) levels. The N-enhanced TiO2 was prepared by applying two popular processes, and they were coated by applying two well-known methods. For three o-, m-, and p-xylene, the two coating methods exhibited different photocatalytic oxidation(PCO) efficiencies. Similarly, the two N-doping processes showed different PCO efficiencies. For all three stream flow rates(SFRs), the degradation efficiencies were similar between o-xylene and m,p-xylene. The degradation efficiencies of all target compounds increased as the SFR decreased. The degradation efficiencies determined via a PCO system with N-enhanced visible-light induced TiO2 was somewhat lower than that with ultraviolet(UV)-light induced unmodified TiO2, which was reported by previous studies. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that PCO efficiencies increased up to 94% for o-xylene and 97% for the m,p-xylene under lower SFR(0.5 L min-1). Consequently, it is suggested that with appropriate SFR conditions, the visible-light-assisted photocatalytic systems could also become important tools for improving IAQ.

제타전위를 이용하여 이산화티탄의 분산 안정성을 평가하고 이를 통하여 분산안정도 향상에 응용하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 제타전위와 관련된 전기이중층, 전기영동, 등전점 및 전기 침투에 대하여 설명하였으며 측정이론을 기술하였다. H-S equation을 이용하여 수계에 분산된 미립자 이산화티탄의 pH변화에 따른 제타전위 변화를 측정하였으며 제타전위는 pH 3.0 ∼ 9.0에서 음의 값으로 측정되었다. 제타전위 값은 pH값 상승에 따라 절대값이 증가하였으며 분산액의 pH 8.0과 9.0에서는 지속적으로 분산이 유지되었다. 이를 통하여 제타전위가 이산화티탄의 분산에 영향을 미치며 제타전위의 절대값 크기가 수계에서 이산화티탄의 분산안정도에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다.

For the purpose of surveying any possibility of anchoring titanium dioxide on activated carbons to promote their activities as catalysts and/or adsorbents, two activated carbons were oxidized with ammonium peroxydisulfate and followed by anchoring titanium dioxide. The anchoring of titanium dioxide on the oxidized activated carbons were performed via the adsorption of tetrabutyltitanate, hydrolysis with deionized water, and calcination. The effect of oxidizing and anchoring treatment on the surface element composition, surface area, and pore texture were analyzed by XPS, BET and TPD. The oxidation of activated carbons with ammonium peroxydisulfate introduced carboxyl groups on the surface of activated carbons and these carboxyl groups promoted the anchoring of titanium oxide on the activated carbons. However, the treatments affected the surface area and the porosity of activated carbons.

Nanosized titania sol has been produced by the controlled hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide(TTIP) in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate(AOT) reverse micelles. The physical properties, such as crystallite size and crystallinity according to R ratio have been investigated by FT-IR, XRD and UV-DRS. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of bromate has been studied by using batch reactor in the presence of UV light in order to compare the photocatalytic activity of prepared nanosized titania. It is shown that the anatase structure appears in the 300～600℃ calcination temperature range and the formation of anatase into rutile starts above 700℃. The crystallite size increases with increasing R ratio. In the photocatalytic degradation of bromate, the photocatalytic decomposition of bromate shows the decomposition rate increases with decreasing initial concentration of bromate and with increasing intensity of light.
