A study of process variables for the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B

The photoactivated degradation reaction of rhodamine B (RB) was studied using P-25 TiO2 (Degussa) as catalyst. Three process variables - temperature, initial pH, and catalyst concentration - were evaluated. Temperature had a slight effect on reaction rate; however, the combined effect of pH and cata...
