Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A copper compound-carried titanium oxide photocatalyst which is excellent in a photocatalytic activity and a viral inactivation property and a production process for the same can be provided by a copper compound-carried titanium oxide photocatalyst comprising titanium oxide in which a content of rutile type titanium oxide is 50% by mole or more and a monovalent copper compound and a divalent copper compound which are carried on a surface of the titanium oxide described above and a production process for a copper compound-carried titanium oxide photocatalyst, comprising a step of carrying a monovalent copper compound and a divalent copper compound on a surface of titanium oxide in which a content of rutile type titanium oxide is 50% by mole or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst comprising titanium oxide in which a content of rutile type titanium oxide is 80% by mole or more and a monovalent copper compound and a divalent copper compound which are carried on a surface of said titanium oxide, wherein an abundance ratio of monovalent copper to a sum of monovalent copper and divalent copper is 20 to 70% by mole. 2. The copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the monovalent copper compound contains copper (I) oxide. 3. The copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the divalent copper compound contains copper (II) hydroxide. 4. The copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the titanium oxide described above is obtained by a vapor phase method. 5. A production process for a copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst, comprising a step of depositing a monovalent copper compound and a divalent copper compound on a surface of titanium oxide in which a content of rutile type titanium oxide is 80% by mole or more, wherein an abundance ratio of monovalent copper to a sum of monovalent copper and divalent copper is 20 to 70% by mole. 6. The production process for a copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst according to claim 5 , comprising a step of adding a reducing agent for reducing divalent copper to monovalent copper to a suspension prepared by blending the divalent copper compound with the titanium oxide in which a content of rutile type titanium oxide is 50% by mole or more. 7. The production process for a copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst according to claim 5 , comprising a step of irradiating a catalyst precursor containing the titanium oxide in which a content of rutile type titanium oxide is 50% by mole or more and the divalent copper compound carried on a surface of the titanium oxide described above with light to reduce a part of the divalent copper compound to the monovalent copper compound. 8. The production process for a copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst according to claim 7 , wherein the irradiation with light described above is carried out in an alcohol-containing atmosphere. 9. The production process for a copper compound carried on a titanium oxide photocatalyst according to claim 5 , wherein the titanium oxide described above is obtained by a vapor phase method.
