The photocatalyst usually has a particle size of n.
Since it is a small powder of m units, it is desirable to use it as a form that is easily separated for use in water treatment. For this reason, in the prior art, it is often used in a state of being fixed on a support such as one having a particle size of about several mm by sintering or the like, or holding a photocatalyst and a metal such as platinum on ceramic paper.

As a method of fixing the photocatalyst to the support relatively firmly, there are a method of fixing the photocatalyst powder to the support with an adhesive or the like, and a method of applying a liquid in which the photocatalyst is dispersed to the support and baking it. However, some kind of adhesive layer is interposed between the support such as plastic, glass, and ceramic and the photocatalyst layer, and peeling is likely to occur in a process in which a large stress is applied such as a water process. It is not preferable in terms of quality that a catalyst, an adhesive, and the like are mixed in the treated water.

On the other hand, there is also a method of producing an immobilized photocatalyst by treating the surface of a metal support and photocatalyzing the surface portion. In this method, the above-mentioned adhesive layer does not exist, and the support and the surface layer are not provided. Since there is no clear boundary with the above, very strong fixing can be realized, which is preferable from the viewpoint of preventing peeling. However, since the support is made of a metal that does not transmit light, only a portion directly irradiated with light can be used as a catalyst, and there is a problem in terms of activity.

In the present invention, the shape of the photocatalyst is not particularly limited, but is preferably a shape having a large contact area with the water to be treated, and is preferably a porous sphere, donut, mesh, honeycomb (such as a honeycomb cross section). A shape having a through hole such as a net-like structure, a coil shape, a corrugated shape (a structure like a cross-sectional shape of a corrugated cardboard), or the like is preferable. When the substantial surface area with water changes depending on the filling direction, such as a mesh shape, a coil shape, a honeycomb shape, or a corrugated shape, it is preferable that the filling be performed so as to increase the effective area. That is, if these shapes are regarded as plate-like, filling is performed so that the largest surface of the plate is not parallel to the water passage direction, in other words, the cross-sectional area orthogonal to the water passage direction is not minimized. It is particularly preferable to fill the plate so that the largest surface of the plate is perpendicular to the direction of water passage. When a photocatalyst having such a shape is used, it is preferable to process the photocatalyst into small pieces of about several mm square because the amount of the catalyst that can be filled and the effective area increase.

It is preferable to use it after conversion.

In the present invention, the light source used for activating the photocatalyst is a light source capable of exciting the photocatalyst used, for example, a filament lamp such as a self-heating lamp, a high-intensity discharge lamp such as a mercury lamp, a hydrogen discharge tube, or a xenon lamp. Fluorescent lamps such as fluorescent lamps, plaque lights, ultraviolet lamps, and germicidal lamps; artificial light sources such as laser light sources; and natural light sources of sunlight can be used. Also, two or more types of light sources can be used in combination. As the light source, a light source having a wavelength that has a high absorption of the photocatalyst and a high transmittance of a light transmitting substance described later may be used. From the viewpoint of processing speed, it is preferable to use an ultraviolet lamp.

Although the size and shape of the light source are arbitrary, when the column or the like is filled with the light source, a photocatalyst, or a light transmitting substance, a light source having a large light emission amount and a large light emission area with respect to the photocatalyst is preferable. Further, thermal shock resistance, resistance to processing stress, and the like are also required.

The light-transmitting substance used in the present invention is used for efficiently transmitting the light of the light source to the immobilized photocatalyst, and is filled in a container together with the immobilized photocatalyst. That is, since the photocatalyst itself has no light transmittance, light hardly reaches the photocatalyst located at a position distant from the light source, and the light of the light source does not reach depending on the shape and size of the photocatalyst, so that the photocatalyst is substantially used as a catalyst. Some parts are missing. Therefore, in the present invention, by using a light transmitting substance mixed with the photocatalyst, the light transmitting substance plays a role of a light propagation path, and the light reaches the surface of the photocatalyst located at a position away from the light source. In the case where the shape of the catalyst itself has a light transmitting function, for example, the shape of the catalyst has a through hole such as a mesh shape, a honeycomb shape, and the like, the tube through hole can substantially form a light propagation path. In some cases, it is not necessary to use it.

The light-transmitting substance is not particularly limited, but is excellent in light transmittance having a wavelength capable of activating a photocatalyst, does not dissolve in water to be treated, is not decomposed by a photooxidation reaction, and has a stress during treatment. The thing which can withstand is preferred. Specifically, glass materials such as quartz and borosilicate are preferable. Also, when a material having a relatively low ultraviolet transmittance such as soda lime glass but a high ultraviolet reflectance on the surface is used, light can reach the inside of the catalyst layer by irregular reflection. In terms of chemical resistance, safety and light transmission,
It is preferable to use a glass material.

The shape of the light transmitting material is optional, but in order to prevent breakage or peeling due to mutual friction during filling or use,
It is preferable that the shape is not an acute angle, and it is particularly preferable that the shape is spherical. Also, the size of the light transmitting substance is not particularly limited, but if it is too large, space for filling the photocatalyst is wasted, and if it is too small, light from the light source is efficiently transmitted to the surface of the photocatalyst. Therefore, it may be appropriately determined depending on the shape and size of the catalyst.

The mixing ratio between the light transmitting substance and the photocatalyst may be determined in accordance with the required performance within a range in which the removal can be attained to be equal to or higher than the case where no light transmitting substance is added. The lower limit of the weight ratio of the photocatalyst to the total of the substance and the photocatalyst is preferably 5%, more preferably 15% or more, still more preferably 30% or more, particularly preferably 50% or more, and preferably 60% or more.
