Compound WO3/TiO2 Nanorods Photocatalytic Degradation of Dimethyl Phthalate in Visible Light Region

Article Preview

Abstract:

The compound WO3/TiO2 nanostructures were prepared by the template technique and characterized by FE-SEM and UV-vis DRS. And they were used to degrade the dimethyl phthalate (DMP) under visible light irradiation. The effects of the initial concentration of DMP and dissolved oxygen (DO) were investigated. The results show that degradation rates reaches 59% in the optimum condition which is ​​the catalyst dosage ~3cm2, the DO is 19.2 mg/ L, xenon lamp irradiating 300 minutes and the initial concentration of dimethyl phthalate in aqueous solution is 10 mg / L.
