Abstract

Cu doped TiO2 at different metal loading was successfully prepared and investigated. Characterization of the prepared photocatalysts was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy (DRUV-Vis) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Photodegradation study of aqueous diisopropanolamine solution (1000 ppm) using the prepared photocatalyst showed significant COD removal under visible light irradiation. The photocatalyst with 1.5 wt% Cu gave the highest COD removal of 45 %.
