Abstract :
A comparative analysis of photodegradation of tetracycline and the organic dye Rhodamine B in aqueous media in the presence of titania xerogel deposited on glass, aluminium foil and porous anodic alumina of 1.5, 3 N 150 μm thickness has been performed. The samples has revealed effective photocatalytic decomposition of tetracycline and the dye. The structures comprising porous anodic alumina 1.5 and 3 μm were found as the most effective.
