TheinfluenceofcalcinationtemperatureonTiO2nanotubes’catalysisforTiO2/UV/O3wasinvestigated.TiO2nanotubes(TNTs)werepreparedviathesol-gelmethodandcalcinedat300—700℃,whichwerelabeledasTNTs-300,TNTs-400,TNTs-500,TNTs-600andTNTs-700,respectively.TNTswerecharacterizedbytransmissionelectronmicroscopy(TEM)andX-raydiffraction(XRD).ItisfoundthatTNTscalcinedat400℃showedthebestthermalstability.Whenthecalcinationtemperatureincreasedfrom400℃to700℃,thespecialstructureoftubeswasdestroyedandgraduallyconvertedintonanorodsand/orparticles.Thetransformationfromanatasetorutileoccurredat600℃,andtherutilephasewasenhancedwhenthecalcinationtemperaturewasincreasedtoover600℃.Thecalcinationtemperature’sinfluenceonTNTs’adsorptionactivityforchemicaloxygendemand(COD)andcatalyticactivityforTiO2/UV/O3wasinvestigatedinlandfillleachatesolution.Inlandfillleachatesolution,theadsorptionactivityofCODdecreasedinthereducedorderofTNTs-300,TNTs-400,TNTs-500,TNTs-600andTNTs-700.Inphotocatalyticozonation,TNTs-400showedthebestcatalyticactivitywhileTNTs-700exhibitedtheworst.Inotherthreeprocesses,theCODremovalofTNTs-300/UV/O3washigherthanthoseofTNTs-500/UV/O3andTNTs-600/UV/O3inthefirst20min,andthenbecameclosetothoseofthelattertwointhefollowing40min.ComparedwithTNTs-300andTNTs-400,TNTs-600hadthebestanti-foulingactivity,whileTNTs-500andTNTs-700hadloweranti-foulingactivitythantheformerthree.Inphotocatalyticozonation,thecalcinationtemperatureof400℃wasappropriatewhenTNTswereobtainedatthesynthesistemperatureof105℃.
