Abstract:Toxic disinfection byproducts such as trihalomethanes (CHCl3) are frequently found after chlorination for drinking water. Nano TiO2 which has been widely used for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater, however, has relatively low effectiveness in the treatments of trace CHCl3. To engineer capable TiO2 photocatalysts, an understanding of their photoactive sites is of great importance and interest. By in situ X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, photoactive sites su… Show more
