Water remediation utilising semiconductor titanium dioxide has received enormous attention owing to its proven capability in mineralising a wide range of recalcitrant compounds into innocuous final by-products. However the practical implementation of such novel technology still faces some limitations, such as the difficulty in downstream separation and limited photo-activation by ultraviolet (UV) light spectrum. Recently the titania impregnated kaolinite (TiO₂/K) nano-photocatalysts has been successfully synthesized to enhance its ability of photo-degradation and recovery in downstream separation. In this work, the main objective is to expand the photo-activation of titania/kaolinite photocatalysts into visible solar region (λ ≥ 400nm) by the introduction of foreign dopants (i.e. Fe and N). The synthesis of the ion-doped nano-photocatalysts was accomplished through a modified two steps sol-gel method and also the direct amination of titanium precursors with triethylamine. The synthesis conditions in terms of the concentration and loading of the dopants are investigated for optimum photo-activity under the irradiation of visible light. The doped nano-photocatalysts are subjected to characterisations using specific surface area measurements (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).The photocatalytic ability of the newly doped nano-photocatalysts is evaluated using 40 ppm of Congo Red as the model reaction.
