Facile and Simple Post Treatment Ball Milling Strategy for the Production of Low-Cost TiO₂ Composites with Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance and Applicability to Construction Materials.

ABSTRACT: A facile and cost-effective approach assisted by ball milling (BM) of commercial titanium dioxide (TiO₂), has been utilized to develop cheaper and efficient construction materials. At least three of the commercial and cheaper TiO₂ samples (BA01-01, BA01-01+ and R996, designated as A1, A4 and R1, respectively) were selected and subjected to BM treatment to enhance their photocatalytic efficiencies, if possible. It was noted, that the samples A1, A4 and R1 were typical composites of TiO₂ and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and contained varying proportions of anatase, and rutile phases of TiO₂ and CaCO₃. Two of the highly efficient commercial TiO₂ samples, Degussa P25 (simply designated as P25) and ST01 (Ishihara Ind.) we
