Abstract
The simultaneous photocatalytic degradation of formaldehyde and hydrogen evolution on platinized TiO 2 have been investigated employing different H 2O/D 2O mixtures under oxygen-free conditions using quadrupole mass spectrometery (QMS) and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The main reaction products obtained from the photocatalytic oxidation of 20% formaldehyde were hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The ratio of evolved H 2 to CO 2 was to 2/1. The HD gas yield was found to be dependent on the solvent and was maximized in a H 2O/D 2O mixture (20%/80%). The study of the solvent isotope effect on the degradation of formaldehyde indicates that the mineralization rate of formaldehyde (CO 2) decreases considerably when the concentration of D 2O is increased. On the basis of the ATR-FTIR data, the formaldehyde in D 2O is gradually converted to deuterated formic acid during UV irradiation, which was confirmed by different band shifting. An additional FTIR band at 2050 cm -1 assigned to CO was detected and was found to increase during UV irradiation due to the adsorption of molecular CO on Pt/TiO 2. The results of these investigations showed that the molecular hydrogen is mainly produced by the reduction of two protons originating from water and formaldehyde. A detailed mechanism for the simultaneous hydrogen production and formaldehyde oxidation in D 2O is also presented. (Chemical Equation Presented).
