Photocatalytic Degradation Of Phenol In Fluidized Bed Reactor Using TiO2-P25/Activated Carbon Prepared By Modified SOL-GEL Method

TiO2-P25 immobilized on activated carbon (TPA) was successfully prepared by modified sol-gel method. The study included optimization of calcination temperature and P25 loading in the photocatalyst preparation. Experiments on the photocatalytic degradation of phenol in a fluidized bed reactor showed...
