摘要

Photocatalysis is an efficient process for degrading organic pollutants and inactivating pathogenic microorganisms. However, this process constantly suffers from turbidity shading and particle aggregation in a catalyst suspension system, thereby reducing its photocatalytic activity. Immobilizing the photocatalyst on the light-transmissible surface is a viable solution to the obstacles. So far, the photo-inactivation efficacy between the immobilized photocatalyst and suspension systems has yet to be compared and investigated. In this study, N-TiO2 (NT) immobilized on poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) was fabricated via a dip-coating method, which has a high transmittance rate of 92 % - better than all of the previous works (50 %). By immobilizing N-TiO2 on PMMA, up to 60 % and 19 % improvements in inactivation efficiencies against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) are achieved, respectively, relative to a photocatalyst suspension. Notably, reactive oxygen species (ROSs) detection results indicate that 5 g/L NT coated PMMA ((NT-PMMA)5) has higher intensities of singlet oxygen (1O2), hydroxyl radicals (HO•), and higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) than the NT suspension. The as-made NT-PMMA sustains a 99.99 % inactivation efficiency (5-log-inactivation) against S. aureus through five consecutive photocatalysis cycles of reuse. The inactivation kinetics of S. aureus and E. coli fit well with the modified Hom model. Atomic force microscopy observations indicate that the NT-PMMA inactivation causes more severe damage to S. aureus's cell wall than E. coli due to the different susceptibility of cell wall structure to ROSs. This study paves a substantial way for scaling up the immobilizing catalyst on PMMA for the effective photocatalytic inactivation of pathogens under visible light.
