Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a coated substrate using a compact, easy to handle and automated coating apparatus that can prepare coated composite in a single batch process, with sufficient control over each portion of the coating apparatus. The coating apparatus may include a coating unit, a drying unit and a pressing unit sequentially arranged in a single line to produce the coated substrate.

Abstract: Present disclosure provides a process for the synthesis of visible light responsive doped titania photocatalysts. The process involves step a) milling a mixture containing titania and a precursor compound, the compound selected from the group consisting of chloroauric acid and a mixture containing chloroauric acid and silver nitrate, in the presence of water and oxide milling media, at a temperature in the range of 20 to 50° C. for a period of 60-120 minutes, to form a slurry, wherein the amount of water is in the range of 15 to 25% by weight of the total mixture; and b) filtering the slurry to separate the oxide milling media and obtain a filtrate containing doped titania nanoparticles.

Abstract: Present disclosure provides a process for the synthesis of doped titania nanoparticle having photocatalytic activity greater than 90% at 2 hours under sunlight irradiation. The process involves step a) milling a mixture containing anatase titania and a precursor compound, the compound selected from the group consisting of metal and non-metal salts, in the presence of water and oxide milling media, at a temperature in the range of 20 to 50° C. for a period of 60-120 minutes, to form a slurry, wherein the amount of water is in the range of 15 to 25% by weight of the total mixture; and b) filtering the slurry to separate the oxide milling media and obtain a filtrate containing doped titania nanoparticles.
