Abstract:
In this paper, zeolite supported-nano TiO2 photocatalytic composites were synthesized by an easily-operated solid diffusion process, in which zeolite was used as the support matrix. And the microstructures, morphologies and photocatalytic properties of the zeolite supported-nano TiO2 composites were characterized and analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and methylene blue degradation tests. The results showed that zeolite matrix reduced agglomeration of nano-TiO2 and enhanced the absorption ability within the UV-Vis range, consequently increased the photocatalytic activity of the composites. Meanwhile, the influences of TiO2/zeolite proportion on their photocatalytic performances were explored, which indicated that 90 wt% TiO2/zeolite had optimal photocatalytic capability and stable properties.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
