Abstract

In this work, the synthesis of FAU and MFI type Ti-containing zeolites from Ti-bearing blast furnace slag was first achieved via a facile hydrothermal method. The synthesized zeolites were identified to be Ti-NaX and Ti-NaZSM-5 zeolites, with excellent specific surface area of 663.2 and 325.2 m2/g, respectively. Ti species in the Ti-NaX zeolite contained the framework Ti species and amorphous extraframework Ti species, while the Ti species in Ti-NaZSM-5 zeolite were in the form of the two species of above and another anatase TiO2. To investigate the potential application of the synthesized zeolites in photocatalysis field, an exploratory study was carried out by degradation of methyl orange under UV irradiation. As demonstrated, the Ti-NaZSM-5 zeolite showed higher photocatalytic performance and was more suitable to be the support of the TiO2 photocatalyst than the Ti-NaX zeolite. Innovative conversion of TBFS into Ti-containing zeolite materials does provide not only a novel and low-cost approach to waste management, but also a promising material candidate for catalytic oxidation and environmental purification.
