Abstract

The photocatalytic mineralization of phenol in aqueous solutions under various experimental conditions was employed, to test the activity of the prepared immobilized fibreglass/TiO2 photocatalysts. The particles of titanium dioxide P25 were coated on the surface of commercial fibreglass fabric by dipping in ethanolic TiO2 suspensions and were fixed by firing 6 h at 500 °C.
