Abstract

A composite of TiO2 and HZSM-5 zeolite was used for photocatalytic degradation of C.I. Reactive Red 2(RR2). With TiO2 concentration of 320 mg/l, the optimum composite was composed of TiO2 and HZSM-5 by the weight ratio of 1:10. The composite showed higher activity than the P25 powder in calcination temperature range from 400 to 600 °C and 450 °C can be the optimum calcination temperature. When irradiation time was 40 min, the composite degraded 96.8% of the initial RR2. 94.9% of the dye was degraded in 70 min using pure TiO2. The RR2 degradation rate increased constantly with increasing composite photocatalyst concentration up to 320 mg/l. The activity of the composite grinded without ethanol was less than that of the composite photocatalyst grinded with ethanol.
