Abstract
Mesoporous TiO 2 microspheres were prepared by a hydrothermal reaction and are characterized in this paper. Decoloration and mineralization during photodegradation of Orange II by mesoporous TiO 2 at different pH values, formation of sulfate, relative luminosity to luminous bacteria and recycling experiments of the catalyst were studied. The FTIR results further suggested that the novel mesoporous TiO 2 can not only decolor and mineralize dyes completely but also can be effectively reused several times. On the basis of the research, mesoporous TiO 2 would be a promising photocatalyst for practical use.
