Tóm tắt

This study explored the effect on photocatalytic degradation in aqueous solution with high- concentration ammonia where immobilized TiO2 on glass beads was employed as the photocatalyst. TiO2 film was prepared via deep coating TiO2 in a sol–gel system of tetrabutyl titanate precursor and calcinating it at the temperature between 400 to 650 °C. Several crucial factors affecting on the rate of removal of ammonia were investigated. These factors included annealing temperature, catalyst composition, coated times of TiO2 film, aqueous initial pH, UV exposure time, repetitions times, etc. The results validate the effectiveness as TiO2 glass beads was employed for photocatalytic degradation treatment in high concentration ammonia solutions.
