Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of a recent study is to evaluate the performances of TiO2 in destroying organic effluent. TiO2 photocatalyst presented a high performance in eliminating methylene blue (MB). Technical anatase of titania was employed. Dip coating was employed to immobilize titania onto the transparent plastic, followed by putting the additional polymer (alteco glue). From the photocatalytic testing, 100 mL of 25 mg L -1 MB was clearly eliminated after 12 hours of irradiation under solar exposure. Variation of TiO2 concentration and the additional polymer was carried out to study the performance of the catalyst.
