This paper reports the potential of four modified TiO2photocatalysts to degrade gaseous volatile organic compounds under visible light irradiation. Two modified photocatalysts were prepared by sensitizing TiO2Degussa P25 with CdS and eosin Y, respectively. Two other photocatalysts were S-doped TiO2. One was prepared through a recently described sol–gel method (S-doped TiO2-SG), whereas a new type was synthesized by a physical mixture method (S-doped TiO2-PM). All modified photocatalysts showed a shift in UV–vis absorbance towards higher wavelengths, up to λ=620nm. Photocatalytic activity under near-UV and visible light irradiation was systematically investigated through the degradation of gaseous trichloroethylene (TCE) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in a batch reactor. Although TiO2Degussa P25 showed 1.3–6.6 times higher TCE degradation rates than modified photocatalysts under near-UV irradiation, no significant activity was observed at λ>400nm. In contrast, modified catalysts showed photocatalytic activity under both blue (400–540nm) and yellow light (480–720nm) irradiation, with S-doped TiO2-PM and S-doped TiO2-SG giving the highest TCE degradation rates, respectively. Under daylight irradiation (400–720nm), S-doped TiO2-PM yielded the highest activity towards both TCE and DMS degradation, exemplified by removal efficiencies higher than 99% within 110min of irradiation at concentrations up to 537ppmv.
