CLAY PHOTOCATALYST AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photocatalyst capable of performing the oxidative-decomposition of an organic matter under light irradiation and manufacturing chemical fuel (hydrogen, methane) using the organic matter as a raw material, and a method of simply manufacturing an photocatalytic material.

SOLUTION: The clay photocatalyst has a photocatalytic activity by oxidizing structural iron (Fe II) that a clay mineral contains in the crystal structure into iron (Fe III) using a proper oxidation method. The catalyst is used for the manufacturing of the chemical fuel from the organic matter under light irradiation and the oxidation-decomposition of the organic matter.
