Hydrothermal Deposition Of Ticl4 Solution To Produce Tio2 Particles On The Surface Of Meranti Wood (Shorea Sp)
ABSTRACT
Thin layer of TiO2 on wood surface was made by precipitation of TiO2 particles from the hydrolysis of TiCl4 which was acidified with HCl for 1 hour at a temperature of 80OC. Prior to this treatment, Meranti wood was cut 2 mm thin and soaked using 0.5 mmol / l surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) for 2 hours at 80OC. The sample is put into a reactor containing 0.5 mol/l TiCl4 and HCl solution. The TiCl4 solution was previously prepared by adding TiCl4 to cold distilled water and stirring slowly. The structure of TiO2 crystals distributed on wood surfaces was analyzed using the XRD aiming at analyzing the morphology of thin films coating using SEM and EDS. Penetration The number of TiO2 particles deposited on a wooden surface is seen in the form of rutile and anatase structures. The results of EDX (X-ray Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy) showed the presence of TiO2 particles formed and also the interaction of TiO2 particles with water on the surface of the wood.
