doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2013.13043

Abstract

Abstract: Porous-Bi₂WO₆ was synthesized by a hydrothermal process. The phase composition, morphology, surface area/pore size distribution and optical properties of as-synthesized Bi₂WO₆ sample were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), filed-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron mcroscope (TEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), UV-Vis absorption spectrum (UV-Vis-DRS), and low-temperature N₂ adsorption/desorption techniques. Furthermore, the photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization (Photo-ODS) activity of as-synthesized Bi₂WO₆ samples was also investigated. The experimental results reveal that reaction temperature and reaction time have a significant effect on the morphology and structure of Bi₂WO₆ under the strong acidic medium. After 2 h of reaction at 190℃, the as-obtained sample exhibits a novel nest-like 3D Bi₂WO₆ microcrystal with scales of 3-4 μm. HR-SEM reveals that the 3D nest-like Bi₂WO₆ microcrystal composes of many small secondary nanoplates. XRD and EDS results confirm that the as-synthesized D nest-like Bi₂WO₆ microcrystal is orthorhombic pure-Bi₂WO₆. N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherms and the pore distribution result show that nest-like 3D Bi₂WO₆ microcrystal has pores in the size of 6-8 nm and the BET surface area is calculated to be as much as 17.49 m²/g. The photocatalytic experimental result illustrates that as-synthesized 3D nest-like porous Bi₂WO₆ microcrystals exhibit an excellent photocatalytic performance to photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization for simulated fuel oil under sun-like light irradiation. Under the conditions of 100 mL/min air flow, 1.2 g/L photocatalyst amount, and visible-light irradiation for 180 min, the desulfurization rate of simulated fuel oil reaches 91.2%, and the stability of photoctalyst is also good.

Key words: hydrothermal three-dimensional porous Bi₂WO₆, photocatalytic oxidation, desulfurization of simiulated fuel oil
