Abstract

Photocatalytic decomposition of CCl₄ (80 mg L^-1 in H₂O) effected by Zr-MCM-41 (Zr incorporated in the amorphous wall of MCM-41) has been studied in the present work. Experimentally, photocatalytic decomposition of CCl₄ on Zr-MCM-41 was enhanced by about 1.96 times over that on ZrO₂. Photocatalytic decomposition of CCl₄ may proceed via a two-electron transfer process that yields mainly CHCl₃, Cl^- and H₂. Since little C₂Cl₂, C₂Cl₆ or CH₂Cl₂ was found, it is unlikely that CHCl₃ involved in the secondary photocatalytic degradation process. In addition, photocatalytic splitting of H₂O on Zr-MCM-41 was also enhanced. The yield of H₂ was 6.5 mmol (g ZrO₂)^-1. About 68% of this hydrogen (6.5 mmol (g ZrO₂)^-1) was consumed in the photocatalytic decomposition of CCl₄.
