Hydrothermal synthesis of photoactive nitrogen- and boron- codoped TiO2 nanoparticles for the treatment of bisphenol A in wastewater: Synthesis, photocatalytic activity, degradation byproducts and reaction pathways
Hydrothermal technique was employed for the synthesis of N- and B-codoped TiO2 at different atomic percentages and calcination temperatures (350 and 400 °C). Borane _tert_-butylamine complex was used as a novel precursor for the dopant atoms. The photocatalytic activities of catalysts were evaluated for destruction of bisphenol A (BPA) spiked in clean water and in secondary treated wastewater influent (SWI) ... Read more
