Influence of Mechanochemical and Sonochemical Methods of Preparation of TiO2/ZrO2 Composites on Photocatalytic Performance in Prometrine Decomposition

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Nanosized TiO2/ZrO2=1:1 composites have been obtained by mechanochemical, ultrasonic, and coprecipitation methods. It is shown that mechanochemical and ultrasonic treatments of a TiO2 and ZrO2 mixture lead to size reduction of oxide particles, changes in X-ray diffraction spectra, the formation of a mesoporous structure of TiO2/ZrO2 samples, and an increase in their photocatalytic activity in the reaction of Gesagard (prometryn) herbicide destruction in an aqueous medium when compared to a mechanical TiO2 and ZrO2 mixture. It is found that the sample obtained by coprecipitation is X-ray amorphous with a well-developed surface, however, it is significantly inferior to samples obtained by alternative methods in terms of photoactivity.
