Abstract:
The connection between ritual and the interior is interrogated through a theoretical framework integrating Van Gennep’s Rites of Passage Theory and Turner’s Theory of Liminality. A multi-faceted methodological framework is developed from the interrogation of the disciplinary edges of multiple methodologies, addressing the experiential, cultural and subjective dimensions of ritual. This new way of exploring the interior demonstrates how knowledge can be acquired from the body’s immersion in unfolding ritual situations, revealing elements of ritual and interior in relation to one another and the

Abstract:
Advanced water purification methods are required to answer the growing demand for clean water throughout the world. Current methods of removing the pollutants rely on moving the pollutants from one place to another rather than breaking them down. The use of advanced oxidative processes (AOPs) presents a highly effective opportunity to achieve the full mineralisation of pollutants without the added cost of regeneration methods. Photocatalysts, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, can be used as AOPs when activated by electromagnetic radiation in the form of ultraviolet and visible light. To

碩士<br>國立東華大學<br>材料科學與工程學系<br>94<br>Abstract Tantalum alkoxides (ex: NaTaO3, KTaO3) were prepared and decomposed of pure water into H2 and O2 without co-catalysts by illuminated UV light . In this study, we reported and prepared the similar niobium alkoxides (NaNbO3, KNbO3) as a new series of active photocatalytic materials. The tantalate and niobate pyrochlores were prepared by a solid state reaction with sodium or potassium hydroxide. The relative high sintering temperature (1100 oC) will caused sodium or potassium volatilization and generated the powder reaction incompletely. It will be st

Abstract:
Photocatalytic water splitting using solar irradiation has the potential to produce sustainable hydrogen fuel on a large scale. Practical solar energy conversion requires the development of new, stable photocatalysts that operate efficiently under a broad range of visible wavelengths. Organic semiconductors are increasingly being employed as photocatalysts due to their earth abundance, aqueous stability, and optical absorptions that can be tuned to the solar spectrum. However, much remains unknown about the mechanism of organic semiconductor photocatalysis, and significant efficiency improveme

Abstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>化學工程與材料工程學系<br>92<br>TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared using a sol-gel method. Alcoholic solution of tetraethylorthotitanite was dropped into de-ionized water, followed by refluxing the liquid at 90 oC for 3 hr. The pH of liquid was adjusted using HNO3 and NH4OH. The obtained particles were dried at 90 oC and calcined at different temperatures. The resultant calcined particles were characterized using XRD, DSC, TG, IR, BET, SEM, and TEM. Photoactivity of the obtained particles was investigated by degrading methylene blue under illumination of 365nm UV and fluorescent light. T

Abstract:
Photocatalytic processes over semiconducting oxide surfaces have attracted worldwide attention as potentially efficient, environmentally friendly and low cost methods for water/air purification as well as for renewable hydrogen production. However, some limitations to achieve high photocatalytic efficiencies have been found due to the fast recombination of the charge carriers. Development of heterostucture photocatalysts by depositing metals on the surface of semiconductors or by coupling two semiconductors with suitable band edge position can reduce recombination phenomena by vectorial transf
