Abstract

The removal of dye from industrial effluents is prime important, photo-catalysis is a finest method to combat dye from effluents. This study concerns about the investigation of photocatalytic activity of TiO ₂-HPAs (Hetropolyacids) nanocomposite namely TiO₂- Phosphomolybdic nanocomposite [TiO₂-HMA] and TiO₂- Phosphotungstic nanocomposite [TiO₂-HWA] which were prepared by Sol-gel method and the same were characterized by using XRD, SEM-EDAX. The photocatalytic activity of prepared photo-catalysts were evaluated and compared by the degradation of Methylene Blue dye in water solution under UV irradiation. In that TiO₂-HMA nanocomposite showed superior photocatalytic activity than TiO₂-HWA.
