Photocatalytic Degradation of Methyl blue by TiO2 Nanoparticles Incorporated in Cement

In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles incorporated with cement were synthesis by a simple casting method as function concentration of TiO2 (0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1, and 2 wt%). The prepared samples characterized using the technique Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) UV-Visible spectrophotometer, which was used to measure adsorption spectra. observed photocatalytic efficiency (NP) investigated decomposing dye methyl blue (MB) solution under sunlight irradiation. According slope, value k constant at best sample is 0.8wt%, k=0.8265 min-1. FESEM image TiO2/cement 0.8 wt% content show NPs well-attached particles, they covered surface. increase in (PC) activity due an cement, occur cement. degradation MB (5ppm) 98.864 % after 120 min involves easily simply preparing that self-cleaning studying effect different festive factors, including dye. preparation successful photocatalyst for
