多相光催化是一种非常有效的降解各种水污染物的方法.本文以稀土(镝和镨)掺杂的TiO2为光催化剂,考察了制备条件对其物理性质和光催化性能的影响.采用溶胶-凝胶法和不同条件(反应温度450,550,650oC；反应时间4,8,12 h)的固态反应法制备了TiO2样品.运用X射线衍射分析了该样品的晶相,发现只存在锐钛矿相,并得到Raman光谱的证实.同时采用扫描电镜观察了样品的结构和粒径；以BET法计算了其比表面积；运用紫外-可见光漫反射光谱测得了样品的带隙能量.通过测量紫外光照射下常用除草剂吡唑草胺的降解速率评价了样品的光催化活性,反应过程中吡唑草胺的浓度用高效液相色谱分析.结果表明,稀土掺杂使得TiO2吸收边红移,并提高了其光催化活性；制备时最优的固态反应条件为550oC反应8 h.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a very effective method for the decomposition of a whole range of water pollutants. In this work, the influence of synthesis conditions on the physical properties and photocatalytic activity of lanthanide-doped titanium dioxide photocatalysts was evaluated. Titani-um dioxide was prepared via sol-gel synthesis followed by a solid state reaction under different conditions, including different temperatures (450, 550, and 650 °C) and reaction times (4, 8, and 12 h). The crystalline phase of the products was determined to be solely anatase using X-ray diffrac-tion, and this result was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The structure, as well as particle size, of the samples was examined using scanning electron microscopy, and their specific surface area was calculated using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The band gap energy of the samples was exam-ined using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy from diffuse reflectance measurements. Doping with lanthanide species, dysprosium and praseodymium, caused the absorption edge to shift towards higher wavelengths and enhanced photocatalytic activity in comparison with pure titania. The pho-tocatalytic activity of the samples was studied in terms of the degradation of the commonly used herbicide metazachlor. The decomposition was carried under UV light and the decrease in metaza-chlor concentration was measured using high performance liquid chromatography. The best per-formance was obtained for samples treated at 550 °C for 8 h during the solid state reaction step.
