ABSTRACT

The conditions for photocatalytic degradation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in aqueous solution with Fe-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) were optimized. The degradation efficiencies with Fe-doped TiO2 were better, compared with those obtained with bare TiO2 and Pt-doped TiO2. The effect of various experimental factors, such as photocatalytic dosage, temperature, solution pH and light intensity on the photocatalytic degradation of EDTA by Fe-doped TiO2 was investigated. The photocatalytic degradation treatment for the wastewater containing EDTA is simple, easy handling and low cost.
