Study on Preparation of Artificial Zeolite Loading Titanium Dioxide Photocatalyst and Its Catalytic Performance on Methyl Orange

The TiO_(2)/AZ photocatalyst was prepared by a sol-gel process.The samples were characterized by XRD technique after heating treatment at different temperature.The photocatalytic activity of the sample was examined by using methyl orange as model contaminant under ultraviolet lamp as light source.The results indicated that the best loading capacity and calcining temperature was 33.3%,240℃ respectively.When the TiO_(2)/AZ concentration was 2~(3 g·L~(-1)),the photodegradation rate was 83.8% after illuminated for five hours.
