Abstract:
The effect of different acidic medium on the activity for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(Ⅵ)with TiO2was studied,especially for the low concentration of Cr(Ⅵ).It was found that blank test effect was significant when Cr(Ⅵ)concentration was below 20μg/mL under UV light irradiation 110 W and 253.7 nm.The blank test also indicated that without TiO2,the UV light has negligible effect on the reduction of Cr(Ⅵ)when HCl was used as acidic medium,whereas UV light has significant effect when HNO3,CH3COOH,and H2SO4was used.
