The advantages of using heterogeneous photocatalysis for removing organic substances from water and process mechanism are examined. Series of titanium (IV) oxide catalysts from the various precursors and with/without modifiers are synthesized. The use of different precursors and modifiers has been shown to provide a wide variety of physical and chemical characteristics of the catalysts. The obtained samples exhibited high activity to the dyes of both anionic and cationic types.References
