Scalable synthesis of millimeter-sized porous MgTi4(PO4)6 photocatalyst via glass-ceramic combined acid-leaching route
Source abstract
Abstract
Glass frit particles were prepared by conventional melting and water quenching method. The frit crystallized to form a glass-ceramic with MgTi 4(PO 4) 6 as the crystalline phase. A porous glass-ceramic material consisting of MgTi 4(PO 4) 6 crystal nanoflakes were successfully obtained by acid leaching of the glass-ceramic. The selective leaching of Mg and P, Ti from the residual glass phase in the glass-ceramic was evidenced. Experiments show that the prepared porous particles have excellent photocatalytic performance toward dye molecules in simulated waste water. Due to its large particle size, the synthesized photocatalyst could be easily recovered after the use. The present study suggests that photocatalysts could be produced in a large-scale and with a low cost via the traditional glass route.
