High photocatalytic activity of pure TiO2 mesoporous molecular sieves for the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol

Pure TiO2 mesoporous molecular sieves, TI-TMS, were first synthesized using alkylphosphate surfactant with different chain length. A high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of pollutant over these materials was first presented here. The Preliminary results are reported of an investigation into the photodegradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, TCP, in the presence of suspended Ti-TMS solution, compared with TiO2 nanoparticles under the same conditions.
