Photocatalytic activity of hybrid layers of titanium dioxide for water disinfection
Morávková, Eva ; Krystyník, Pavel (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the preparation of thin layers based on nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and organosilica binder. The effect of the ratio of the two components on the properties of the formed immobilized layers is studied. Two different ratios between TiO2 and organosilica binder and two different types of commercially available oxides were used. The work focuses mainly on the formation of thin immobilized TiO2 layers and their properties. Their photocatalytic activity was determined by degradation of model pollutant in solution, as well as their mechanical hardness and layer adhesion were determined. All prepared layers were treated with muffle furnace annealing and UV-C curing. Samples that had undergone a complete treatment were subjected to individual tests. The model dye was Acid Orange 7. Photocatalytic activity was characterized by a formal 1st order rate constant, which was detected by UV/VIS spectrophotometry. Mechanical hardness and adhesion were determined using ISO standards.

Kinetics of photocatalytic and electrophotocatalytic degradation of swimming pool water model pollutants
Morávková, Eva ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (referee) ; Veselý, Michal (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the coating and printing of thin layers based on nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and organosilica binder on various substrates. The influence of the ratio of the both components on the activity of the prepared immobilized layers was studied. Five compositions with different ratios of TiO2 and binder were prepared. The work focuses mainly on the study of photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic properties of prepared layers. It was also important to characterize the mechanical properties of the layer such as hardness or adhesion. Both photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic activity were determined by monitoring the degradation of the model pollutants in aqueous solutions. The dye Acid Orange 7 and UV filter 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone were used in conjunction with UV/VIS spectroscopy or high performance liquid chromatography techniques. Both photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic activity were expressed using kinetic characteristics.
