A Cu-TiO2/Ti dual rotating disk photocatalytic (PC) reactor has been developed based on our single rotating disk photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) reactor (Y. Xu, et. al, Environ. Sci. Technol. 2008, 42, 2612-2617), and successfully applied to the treatment of laboratory and industrial dye wastewater. Round TiO2/Ti and Cu disks of the same size are connected by a Cu wire and fixed parallel on an axis continually rotating at 90 rpm. High treatment efficiency is obtaineddueto direct photooxidation on the TiO2/Ti photoanode as well as additional degradation on the Cu cathode, which is speculated via indirect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidation and direct electro-reduction of dye on cathode. The mechanism of the Cu-TiO2/Ti dual rotating disk PC reactor was investigated. In a 20 mg L-1 Rhodamine B (RB) solution, approximately 100mV of potential and 10μA of current were measured between the Cu and TiO2/Ti electrode during PC treatment. Such phenomenon was explained by spontaneous electron transfer based on the same principle of establishing a Schottky barrier. On the Cu electrode surface, the photoelectrons either reduced dye molecules directly or reacted with dissolved oxygen (DO) to form H2O2. Rotation of electrodes out of the solution enhanced the mass transfer of target compound and kept the aqueous film fresh. The Cu-TiO2/Ti dual rotating disk PC reactor is a simple and effective device for the treatment of RB dye wastewater.
