Abstract

In this study, the degradation of methylene blue (MB) by UV/TiO2/ H2O2 process was ivestigated in an annular reactor. The effects of the factors: TiO2 concentration, H2O2 dosage, UV density, and hydrodynamic conditions on the reaction rate constant were evaluated by the response surface methodology. The results showed that TiO2 concentration, H2O2 dosage and UV density had a great influence on the kapp, hydrodynamics had a lower influence. Design Expert V.11 software is used to optimize the reaction conditions, the optimal apparent reaction rate constant is 0.168 min-1 under the following conditions: TiO2 concentration of 0.2 g/l, H2O2 dosage is 0.063 mol/l, UV density of 287 W/m2 and Re number is 10000.
