A novel N-doped TiO2/Chitosan (CS) composited film
as a promising alternative material
was prepared
and could be more potential compared with tradition materials for treating wastewater. When this material
N-doped TiO2/CS film
was used for removing Methyl Orange (MO) under simulated solar light irradiation
about 99% of total MO removal was achieved due to the combination effect of photo-degradation and adsorption processes. N-doped TiO2/CS photo-catalyst was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD)
scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. The results indicate that there exist the reactive groups NH2
OH on the N-doped TiO2 film
and their contents in the prepared photo-catalyst are responsible for the photo-degradation and adsorption effect
which was confirmed by FT-IR. Hence
it is possible that using N-doped TiO2/ CS film as a simple method for removal of the pollutants in wastewater.
