Abstract

Photocatalytic degradation kinetics of methylene blue in aqueous solution was systematically investigated using Ti-based composite material as the photocatalyst. The single-variable-at-a-time ( SVAT) method was employed. It studied the individual and synergistic effects of several classical parameters on photocatalytic efficiencies. The kinetic mechanism was systematically explored. The kinetics effects of the doping amount of La and N, calcination temperature and time, light intensity were studied in detail. The factors on the degradation of MB were in accordance with the pseudo first order kinetic model. This kinetic model followed the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. The best preparation conditions were found in the experiments. It is proved that the Ti-based composite material is an effective adsorbent for the degradation of dye contaminated water.
