Preparation and Application of Titanate Nanotubes on Methylene Blue Degradation from Aqueous Media

Article Preview

Abstract:

Titanate nanotubes were synthesized at various hydrothermal temperatures and reaction times by the hydrothermal process and used as photocatalyst. BET analysis was conducted in order to find out the surface area of these as-prepared samples and it was found that the surface area increases with rise in temperature till 130 oC. Synthesized as-prepared titanate nanotubes were applied on methylene blue degradation from aqueous media by UV irradiation. It was observed that dye removes ~99% from the aqueous media at a titanate nanotubes dose of 2 g/L.
