Abstract
A feasibility study for the application of the photoelectrocatalytic decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) was performed in a photoelectrochemical reactor with immobilized $TiO_2$ particle. The effects of operating conditions, such as current, electrolyte and pH were evaluated. The experimental results showed that optimum $TiO_2$ dosage and current in the photoelectrocatalytic process were 83.3 g/l and 0.5 A, respectively. It was found that the RhB could be degraded more efficiently by this photoelectrocatalytic process than the sum of the two individual oxidation processes (photocatalytic and electrolytic process). The addition of NaCl increased the initial decolorization rate and reduced reaction time. The optimum dosage of NaCl was 0.15 g/l. The decolorization rate of the photoelectrocatalytic process increased sharply with a decrease in pH value. However when the NaCl was added, the pH effect was not high.
