Degradation of methyl violet was used as a probe reaction to explore the influencing factors on the photodegradation reaction. The results show that the opti- mal conditions are as follows： initial concentration of methyl violet of 10 mg·L^-1, pH of 3.0, catalyst dosage of 2.9 g·L^-1, and light irradiation time of 2.5 h. Under these conditions, the degradation rate of methyl violet is 95.4 %. The reaction on photodegradation for methyl violet can be expressed as the first-order kinetic model, and the possible mechanism for the photocatalysis under simulated natural light is suggested. After used continuously for five times, the catalyst keeps the inherent photocatalytic activity for degradation of dyes. The photodegradation of methyl orange, methyl red, naphthol green B, and methylene blue was also tested, and the degradation rate of dyes can reach 81%-100%.展开更多
