Porous TiO2-Al2O3 composite materials were prepared through sol-gel method after calcination at 500 oC for different time. FT-IR spectra of porous TiO2-Al2O3 composite materials revealed that the samples are composed of Al2O3 and TiO2. The sample calcinated for 2.5 h had the maximum specific area of 128.9 m2•g-1. High pore volume and average pore size were possessed by the samples calcinated for 1 h and 3 h. While being calcinated at 500 oC, photocatalytic activities of the materials increased at first and then dropped down with the increasing calcination time. The sample calcinated for 3 h showed the maximum activity of 35%.

A co-sol-gel method was used to prepare SiO2-doped TiO2. The amount of ethyl silicate added into the precursor, calcination temperature and time, adsorption equilibrium, and photocatalytic activity of the material were investigated as the factor of degradation efficiency. With the optimum composition of the precursor, the prepared gel calcinated at 500 oC for 3 h showed the highest photocatalytic activity. After 30 min stirring to reach adsorption equilibrium, adsorption contributed less than 2% to the total decoloration of methyl orange on the SiO2-doped TiO2 material. Photocatalytic methyl orange degradation continued with increasing irradiation time. Methyl orange degradation rates after 30 min and 100 min were 31.1% and 96.9%, respectively.
