Photodegradation in the presence of NH3 / TiO2 nanoparticles

Abstract

The article considers the photochemical dissociation of the phenol solution in the presence of TiO₂ nanoparticles, which synthesized in moderate conditions and dimensions vary between 10-30 nm and the 100mg/ml NH₃ solution. The appearance of photochemical dissociation was confirmed on the basis of the absorption curves taken before and after the process and Abs curves were drawn on the “Varian” device. Phenol's photochemical dissociation in UV-visible area has been confirmed by experiments.
