Abstract: TiO2 particles were prepared under low-temperature conditions by sol-hydrothermal-steam method.The characteristics of TiO2 were carried out using XRD,BET,TEM.The results showed the basic structure of product was mainly anatase phase with the existence of brookite phase (121)) and the BET was 106.2 m2/g.The photo-catalytic degradation under UV light (λ≤387 nm) of organic dye Rhodamine B (RhB) was used as probe reactions to evaluate the optimum TiO2.TiO2 prepared under low-temperature conditions had a better degradation effect to RhB and 2,4-DCP,which were significantly degradated in TiO2/UV (λ≤387 nm) system by analysing UV-vis spectroscopy,FTIR and TOC.After 5 h and 7 h the mineralized rate of RhB,2,4-DCP was 81.2%,86.8%,respectively.N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD),Horseradish peroxidase (POD),spectro-photometry and benzoic acid spectro-fluorescence analysis method were used to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydrogen radicals (·OH).The experiment results indicated that photo-catalysis degradation of TiO2 mainly referred to ·OH radical mechanism.
