Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：34.89(Chemistry, Physical)Removal of iodine from water contaminated by nuclear accidents or the release of radioactive waste is complicated and costly because iodine exists in a variety of forms in the water. We investigated the unification of iodine species by photocatalysis as a pretreatment for removing radioactive iodine species from water. The effect of the TiO
crystal phase of Pt-TiO and solution pH on the photocatalytic redox reactions of iodide (I
), iodate (IO
), and 
-iodobenzoic acid were evaluated. The choice of TiO crystalline phase and pH allowed the mixture of iodine species to be unified to only I or IO. Regardless of the type of Pt-TiO, the iodine in o-iodobenzoic acid was mineralized to I under alkaline conditions. Because the iodine species can be unified to a single species by selecting the photocatalyst and the solution pH, this photocatalytic treatment could be applied to remove iodine species with high efficiency.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：2.37(Chemistry, Physical)In this study, we developed an in-line photocatalytic performance evaluation system in which a flow reactor was connected to the ion chromatography to accurately evaluate the performance of the photocatalyst. This system was used to evaluate the photocatalyst supported by the two-layer support method on the substrate, such as glass beads. The performance of the photocatalyst was evaluated using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and it was possible to monitor the decomposition of DMSO by UV and the formation of by-products, such as methane sulfonate (MSO) and sulfate (SA). This system can be expected to be useful not only for evaluating the decomposition performance of an object using a photocatalyst but also for evaluating the byproducts.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：12.91(Chemistry, Physical)Photocatalysts shows high redox property only by light irradiation. However, the reaction performance is lowered in aqueous phase due to the low contact efficiency between catalyst and targets. In this study, to enhance aqueous adsorption and photodecomposition of anionic organic target, we developed an amino functional-based spacer (3-[2-(2- aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyl-trimethoxysilane, DETA), and used it to modify TiO. The modified catalyst with positively charged amino groups could enhance the adsorption and photodecomposition of anionic organic targets.
