Abstract: The TiO2/beads photocatalyst was prepared by the dip-coating technique using the hollow glass microbeads as a supporter and TiO2/beads were characterized by XRD,SEM and TG-DTA. The effect of the different preparation conditions on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/beads was studied. The results showed that the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2/beads was the highest when heat treatment at 600℃ for 5 h and the anatase phase and the rutile phase equal to 81to19.The transition temperature of samples from amorphous structure to the anatase phase was about 429℃. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2/beads was better when the anatase phase and the rutile phase coexist in a certain proportion.

Key words: titanium dioxide, hollow glass microbeads, photocatalytic activity
