The photocatalytic degradation process of waste water was usually influenced by many factors, such as different ions, addition reagent and pH value. In order to investigate the effect of ions strength in the photocatalytic process, the anions and cations were systematically investigated with P25 TiO2 photocatalyst with Rhodamine B (RB) as waste water in this work. The results showed that the cations of low valence showed minimum negative effect on degradation rate and the most anions showed enhance the degradation rate of RB. The ions strength showed random in the photocatalytic process.

The oxidative degradation of Rhodamine B dye under ultraviolet irradiation was studied. The degradation rate was measured with using of smartphone camera. Photocatalytic degradation of the Rhodamine B dye over the P25-TiO2 catalyst has been found to accelerate substantially in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The relationship between the photocatalytic degradation rate and H2O2 concentration has been studied. The optimal concentration of H2O2 has been found to in the range of 10-25 mM. The proposed mixture of P25 photocatalyst and H2O2 oxidizer can be used to remove organic pollutions from industrial waste water.

Here we report the photocatalytic degradation characteristics of Rhodamine B in the presence of Cr(VI). Some interesting results were observed during the photocatalytic process. Cr(VI) caused a deactivation effect on the catalyst due to the formation of Cr(OH)3precipitate blocking the active sites of catalyst. Moreover, a kind of red oligomer precipitate was found during the RhB degradation when Cr(VI) was presented. This precipitate was rarely reported in photocatalytic system.

The functions of applied potential to the photoelectrocatalytic degradation process of methyl orange were investigated. When using 0.05 M NaCl and under different applied potentials, the degradation rate increased obviously with increasing applied potential. When the applied potential was between 0.6 V-1.0 V, the degradation rate was enhanced drastically. The detected current values got larger as the applied potential increased from 0 up to 1.2 V. There was no direct electro-degradation to the dye in the solution. The applied potential and the irradiated light had synergetic effect when they were applied to the solution at the same time. While after irradiation for 0 to 60 min, with the increasing reaction time, methyl orange absorption peak intensity shrank obviously. The azo and benzene groups in methyl orange degraded totally under photocatalytic process.

In this study, WO3/TiO2nanotube array photoelectrodes were fabricated by anodic oxidation and electro-deposition method. The effects of WO3, H2O2, oxygen, and pH value were investigated in the degradation of Dimethyl phthalate (DMP). Results show that the photocatalytic property of the photoelectrode was improved by the modification of WO3. The degradation rate of DMP was increased by 9.3% after 120min irradiation. H2O2could significantly promote the degradation of DMP. The degradation rate of DMP was increased by 27.9% and arrived 97.5% after 120 min irradiation. A certain amount of O2added to the solution had positive effect on the degradation of DMP. While excessive O2would undermine the degradation. The degradation rate of DMP was improved in both acidic condition and alkaline condition. It was separately increased by 38.4% and 40.2% at the pH value of 3.0 and 7.0, compared with that of pH = 7.

Abstract The photocatalytic degradation of two phenylurea herbicides, monolinuron (MLN) and linuron (LN), was investigated in an aqueous suspension of TiO2 using simulated solar irradiation. The objective of the study was to compare their photocatalytic reactivity and to assess the influence of various parameters such as initial pesticide concentration, catalyst concentration and photonic flux on the photocatalytic degradation rate of MLN and LN. A comparative study of the photocatalytic degradation kinetics of both herbicides showed that these two compounds have a comparable reactivity with TiO2/simulated sun light. Under the operating conditions of this study, the photocatalytic degradation of MLN and LN followed pseudo first-order decay kinetics. The kobs values indicated an inverse dependence on the initial herbicide concentration and were fitted to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation. Photocatalytic degradation rates increased with TiO2 dosage, but overdoses did not necessarily increase the photocatalytic efficiency. The degradation rate of MLN increased with radiant flux until an optimum at 580 W m‑2 was reached and then decreased. Under these conditions, an electron-hole recombination was favored. Finally, the photocatalytic degradation rate depended on pH, where an optimum was found at a pH value close to the pH of the point of zero charge (pH = 6).

Photocatalytic degradation of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), which are two taste and odour compounds commonly found in drinking water supply sources, was investigated using an immobilised TiO2 photoreactor. It was found that the degradation of geosmin and MIB followed similar pseudo-first-order kinetics with reaction rate constants being approximately 0.025 min−1 for typical geosmin and MIB concentrations of 250 and 500 ng/L. The normalised formal quantum efficiency was calculated to be in the range of 162–182 L/mol. Influence of additives (i.e. sodium bicarbonate and alcohols) on the degradation process was also investigated. It was found that there was a small reduction in the degradation rate constants of geosmin and MIB with increasing sodium bicarbonate concentration. At 50 mg/L sodium bicarbonate the degradation rate constants decreased by approximately 5%. Similarly, for methanol and ethanol concentrations up to 35 and 50 mg/L, respectively, these constants were found to also decrease. While addition of sodium bicarbonate and alcohols was seen to have relatively small negative effects on the photocatalytic degradation performance, the magnitude of their influence was consistent with the hypothesis that the degradation mechanism of geosmin and MIB was predominately that of attack involving HO∙ radicals.

A series of photocatalyst Bi1-xLaxVO4 (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) powders were prepared by hydrothermal method. The composition, structure, morphology and photocatalytic activity of the samples were researched by means of modern testing techniques. Bi1-xLaxVO4 showed excellent visible-light sensitivity and photocatalytic activities. The degradation rate of sample with x = 0.5 on rhodamine B reached 90 %, which was much higher than that of pure BiVO4.

Supported Fe-doped TiO2 has been prepared by a sol-gel method through the use of porous diatomite. The synthesized Fe-doped TiO2/diatomite composites were characterized by SEM and EDX techniques. The composite presented in this study showed higher adsorption and photodegradation ability of Rhodamine B than TiO2/diatomite and diatomite. It was found that the decolorization efficiency were dependent on the operational parameters of pH, photocatalyst dosage and dye concentration, and about 85% of the initial 50 mg/L dye could be adsorbed and degraded in 240 min. Moreover, kinetic study indicated that the photocatalytic degradation process could be described by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.
