Résumé
Chlorine-containing organic compounds were discharged informally as a result of untreated industrial wastewater, which caused groundwater pollution. In this study, titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TNAs) were modified with copper oxide to photoelectrochemical (PEC) active persulfate to degrade trichloroethylene (TCE). The SEM results show copper nano-particles with a cubic shape were successfully deposited on the surface of TNAs. The results of UV-vis analysis indicate the absorption wavelengths red-shift to 550-600 nm for better light utilization. CuO/TNAs were dominated by the anatase phase after sintering at 450 °C with significant visible light response. The chemical contents for the surface of CuO/TNAs are 23.7, 53.4, 18.4 and 4.4% for C, O, Ti and Cu, respectively. The photocurrent of CuO/TNAs is 1.89 times higher than that of TNAs
