A TiO₂/Fe³⁺ Coated on Fibre Glass Treatment for Phenol with UV Irradiation

Abstract:

This paper reported the study of the photocatalytic activity of immobilized Fe³⁺ doped TiO₂ on glass fibre yarn. A dip-coating technique fixing catalyst onto the support surface was applied to get the TiO₂/Fe³⁺ coated filler. A photo reactor consists of a cylindrical quartz tube and filler with the immobilized catalyst was applied in the study. The photocatalytic activity was determined by the degradation of phenol in water (10 mg L^-1). Results suggested that the fibre glass coated TiO₂/Fe³⁺ photocatalysis filler has very excellent performances in repeat using and the supported TiO₂ was very stable in photocatalysis reaction.
