Abstract

In order to solve such environmental problems quickly and efficiently, it is imperative to find an economical, environmentally friendly and sustainable solution, and TiO2 photocatalyst has the advantages of cheap, non-toxic and non-polluting. aspects have been extensively studied. The purpose of this paper is to study the development of photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water based on nano-TiO2. The performance of NG/TiO2 composite photocatalyst in degrading organic pollutants acetochlor in water was studied. By studying the adsorption performance, catalyst dosage, H2O2 addition and composite ratio on the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, the experimental results showed that when the degradation efficiency was the highest when the amount of H2O2 was 2mL. It provides theoretical and experimental basis for the practical application of NG/TiO2 composite photocatalyst.
