The equilibrium adsorption data were well fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich(D-R) isotherms. Compared to the as-received TiO2(mean particle size d150= 0.78μm, specific surface area = 88.17 m^2g-1, pore volume = 0.41 cm^3g-1), the 60 min ballmilled TiO2(d50= 0.55 μm, specific surface area = 99.48 m2g-1, pore volume = 0.48 cm3g-1) enhanced the adsorption quantity of congo red and methylene blue from 10.4 mg g-1to 13.6 mg g-1, and from17.0 mg g-1to 22.2 mg g-1, respectively; and also improved the kinetic rates from k = 0.1325 to 0.2193, and k = 0.0944 to 0.1553, respectively. Dye adsorption and degradation efficiency of congo red was enhanced in acidic p H range(2–5.14), and methylene blue was enhanced in alkaline p H range(7.58–12).展开更多
