Description

The study of photo catalytic efficiency of leucoxene (Pizhemskoe deposit, Russia) and synthesized on its base rutile and rutile modified with Pt was made. The degradation of trichlorphenol (TCP) under UV irradiation was used as a test reaction. The results showed that specific surface area of leucoxene and as-synthesized rutile is extremely low what predetermines the low photocatalytic activity of these samples. Nevertheless, triclorphenol could be effectively oxidized under UV light when the Pt modified rutile crashed to 13 nm particle size is used as a photocatalyst
