Why inorganic salts decrease the TiO2 photocatalytic efficiency
Methylene Blue (MB) has been chosen as a model molecule to evaluate the impact of inorganic salts, present in textile waste waters, on the adsorption properties and on the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2. No OH∘ radical scavenging by anions such as NO3−, Cl−, SO42−, PO43−, and CO32− was observed a...
