Due to his flexible process, SICAT masters the technique to produce mixed carbide such as TiC/SiC composite. The composite can be oxidized to turn the TiC into TiO 2. Regarding the temperature and the oxidation time, the TiO 2 can be crystallized into either anatase, either rutile phase.
Such composite combine medium surface area, high mechanical strength, tailored pore size distribution and mixed oxides surface. Naturally, TiC/SiC can be shaped in all forms like extrudates, rings, spheres, open cell foams and 3D structures.
TiC/SiC composite available in a wide range of shapes
NEW Structured material for photocatalysis
SICAT offers a unique solution to have structured photocatalyst "ready to use". Through an appropriate oxidative process, the TiC/SiC composite can be transformed into TiO 2 (anatase)/SiC composite. The as so structured catalyst does not need to be washcoated by TiO 2 nanoparticles, the active catalyst is a part of the structure strongly anchored. Using such material prevents to release nanoparticles during the photocatalytic process.
Such materials can be shaped into open cell foams, or 3D structures particularly suitable for photocalalytic processes such as gas and liquid treatment. The 3D network proceeds as a static mixer, enhancing mass transfer and geometrical surface contact; the void fraction allows to UV or visible light to diffuse through the open structure. Photocatalytic filtration can be performed through these medias.
