Abstract
By means of TiO2-layer-on-SiO2-layer, anatase TiO2 was deposited on novel side-glowing optical fibers, which can provide side UV radiation along the whole fiber length. FE-SEM images show that the double layers adhered well to the side-glowing optical fiber, and the TiO2 coating was homogeneous and smooth. The decomposition reaction of reactive brilliant red dye X-3B on a single TiO2-coated side-glowing optical fiber indicated that the side-scattering UV light intensity was strong enough for photocatalytic oxidation reaction. Therefore, TiO2-coated side-glowing optical fibers open up a new way to use the optical fiber reactor in photocatalytic wastewater treatment.
