Support effect of silica on photocatalytic degradation of dibutyl phthalate by TiO2 nanoparticles in water containing chloride anion
Employing silica as a support of TiO2 reduced the inhibition effect of chloride anion on photocatalytic activity for degradation of dibutyl phthalate in water. This support effect was largely observed in the cases of silica having larger surface area and of smaller TiO2 particles.
