<p>A combination of adsorption and photoelectrodegradation system was performed to reduce the concentration of Rhodamine B dye in water.<strong> </strong>The adsorption was conducted using silica and alumina activated by acid and base under various predetermined pH of Rhodamine B. The photoelectrodegradation process was performed using Ti/TiO<sub>2</sub> electrode as a cathode and Ti/TiO<sub>2</sub>-NiO as an anode. TiO<sub>2</sub> was synthesized from titanium tetra-isopropoxide precursor (TTiP) by sol-gel method. TiO<sub>2</sub>-NiO composite was synthesized with the same precursor with the addition of Ni(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>.6H<sub>2</sub>O. The result shows that the activation changes the amount of OH total in the adsorbent. The acid-activated adsorbent showed an optimum adsorption activity when Rhodamine B was in base condition caused by zwitter ionic structure. It reversely occured to base-activated adsorbent where an optimum absorption activity reached at acid condition. The application of base-activated silica in adsorption and photoelectrodegradation combination system decreased the concentration of Rhodamine B dye up to 98.79% using photoanode Ti/TiO<sub>2</sub>-NiO under pH 2 at bias potential 6 V.</p>

TiO2and Ag+-doped TiO2thin films were successfully obtained on microscope glass slides by means of sol-gel method. Then the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2and Ag+-doped TiO2thin films was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B dye solution. The effects of both annealing temperatures and Ag+contents on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2thin films were examined. The results indicated that the TiO2thin films with an atomic ratio of Ti:Ag=10:1 annealed at 300°C had a higher photocatalytic activity.

TiO2 and different contents Fe3+-doped TiO2 thin films were successfully obtained on microscope glass slides by Sol-Gel method. Then the photocatalytic activities of the samples were evaluated by the degradation of Rhodamine B dye solution. The effects of both annealing temperatures and Fe3+ contents on the photocatalytic activities of TiO2 thin films were examined. The results indicated that the sample with an atomic ratio of Ti:Fe=7:3 annealed at 500°C had a higher photocatalytic activity.

In this paper, a TiO2/black talc composite photocatalyst was prepared by the sol-gel method using TBOT as titanium source and black talc as carrier. Rhodamine B was used as the targeted pollutant to study the adsorption role of carbon in black talc. The results showed that with the adsorption-degradation cycles, the illumination time can be reduced by 40%. The adsorption rate and degradation rate of the composite photocatalyst was also increased. The degradation rate of Rhodamine B reached more than 95%, which fully shows the synergistic effect between TiO2 nanoparticles and black talc. In this way, the adsorption-degradation coupling of the photocatalyst could be realized.
