11. Summary of the new findings of thesis:

+ Have fabricated, analyzed, evaluated the characteristics and optical catalytic effectiveness of TiO2 nanomaterials modified N, Nd, Eu and obtained materials that meet the target of denaturation materials that bring the energy of the forbidden zone to the natural light zone (Eg from 2.61 ÷ 3.11 Ev); the effectiveness of decomposition of some nitrogen-containing compounds (ammonium, antibiotics, color) in natural light conditions reached 80-90%, of which ammonium concentration reached 98%.

+ Have studied the kinetics and explained the mechanism of the process of removing the nitrogen compounds present in the water and determined the optimal conditions of the decomposition process, thus applying successfully the TiO2 metamorphosis photocatalyst material with Nd modification coated on the substance carrying husk ash into NH4+ treatment in groundwater in Hanoi at the scale of the laboratory capacity 80 ÷100 L/day, responsed the domestic water standards (QCVN 01-1:2018/BYT).

12. Practical applied capability

The thesis contributes to the fabrication process of TiO2 nano-photocatalyst materials modified by nitrogen, neodymium and europium elements coated on rice husk ash carrier, with high photochemical ability in the natural light region with simple technology and the input materials are available in Viet Nam. Particularly, the thesis also contributes to elaborating the role of nano TiO2 modified nitrogen element and rare earth coating on rice husk ash carrier and the kinetics of decomposition of some nitrogen compounds in general and ammonium in particular to offer solutions to improve the effectiveness of handling such compounds as well as deploying practical applications.

 

13. Further research directions:

Research on the safety of materials towards human health to increase the practicality and feasibility of the material by evaluating the durability of the material and the stability of the photocatalytic ability.

Applying materials to treat other polluting components in the environment, especially organic components that are difficult to decompose (colors, antibiotics, pesticides)
