Abstract

Titania was prepared by the sol-gel method from titanium alkoxide. Depending on the pH of the gelling solution, specific surface areas between 88 and 10 m2/g were obtained. The band gap (Eg) of the samples was found between 3.05 and 3.32 eV. In samples gelled at pH5 and 9 and calcined at 400°C only anatase phase is observed, while for pH3 and pH7 brookite, anatase and rutile or anatase-rutile phases coexist. It was found that the photoactivity in the 2,4-dinitroanailine decomposition depends on the Eg and on the crystalline phases. The highest activity corresponds to the catalysts having the lowest Eg and more than one crystalline phases co-existing.
