Abstract

A new photocatalytic thin films TiO₂/Fe₂O₃/chitosan was synthesized by a solution casting technology to degrade the azo coloured compounds in the industrial waste water. The prepared TiO₂/Fe₂O₃/chitosan was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). TiO₂ and Fe₂O₃ were entrpped in the chitosan film uniformly. The catalytic ability of TiO₂/Fe₂O₃/chitosan was evaluated by photodegradtion of Rhodamine B. About 99.4 % Rhodamine B were photodegraded by 0.5 g L^-1 photocatalyst under solar lights irradiation for 120 min. The influence of the reaction pH has been well investigated. And TiO₂/Fe₂O₃/chitosan has good stability and reusability, it is suitable for the practical industrial waste water treatment.
