Degradation of Rhodamine B in Wastewater Using Nanometer TiO2 Film under UV Light Irradiation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using tetrabutyl titanate as source, ethanol as solvent, acetic acid as complexing agent, synthesis of titanium dioxide sol was achieved by sol-gel method. A transparent sol aging in air 30min, titanium dioxide films were prepared by using spin coating method. Rhodamine B degradation by TiO2 photocatalysis was investigated. Study the efficiency of decolorization was influenced by the coating times, heat-treated time, the initial concentration of rhodamine B, and solution pH.
