Conclusions • Dissolved oxygen became a rate-limiting factor when its concentration went below 6 ppm. • CNO- was the first product of photocatalytic oxidation of cyanide in the presence of TiO2 or TPA modified TiO2. • Other products such as NO2- and NO3- were detected following the complete oxidation of cyanide. Catal. & Surf. Chem. Lab
Conclusions (continued) • The activities of TPA/TiO2 were higher than those of pure TiO2, and the tendency became clearer in the presence of OH radical scavengers. • The amount of surface hydroxyl groups was decreased due to silylation, and consequently, the oxidation rate of both cyanide and cyanate was retarded. • Introduction of TPA brought about the increase of surface roughness due to smaller crystallite sizes of TPA/TiO2 than those of pure TiO2.
