Ceramic TiO2 nanocomposites were manufactured using the mechanical grinding and annealing procedure with the powder mixtures of fly ash, waste glass powder and nano-TiO2. The chemical durability of the heat-treated specimens was examined at 850 °C with nano-TiO2 contents to evaluate the morphological properties with/without the acid treatment, and the photocatalytic activity for bisphenol A, acetaldehyde, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, methylene blue, and methyl orange was investigated. The compressive strength, bending strength, and Vickers hardness of the specimens were also analyzed. Ceramics nanocomposite with 15.0 wt% TiO2 was found to be the optimum photocatalyst mechanism in all cases with/without the acid treatment.

Keywords:Chemical durability;Mechanical properties;Acid treatment;Photocatalyst degradability
