Abstract

Chrysanthemum- like rutile phase titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoflowers were synthesized on the surface of Raschig borosilicate rings (BRRs). The hierarchical nanoarchitecture was investigated using several physicochemical techniques: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (IR), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), zeta potential (ζ). TiO2-BRR were used as a packed column in a photocatalytic reactor, and their catalytic activity in the degradation of a bacteriostatic antibiotic: tetracycline (C22H24N2O8) was evaluated. The photocatalyst removed 91% of the emerging contaminant achieving an energy efficiency of 68% with an optimized loading of 75 TiO2- BRR and a pH of 4 at 25 ° C; without significant variation in at least three photodegradation cycles. This information can be used to develop supported TiO2 photocatalysts aimed at eliminating emerging contaminants, offering a viable alternative.
