Abstract: The photocatalytic degradation of formaldehyde was studied on the surface of TiO2 film photocatalyst under the illumination of ultraviolet lamp and black lamp respectively. The results indicated that the conversion of formaldehyde was lower under illumination of ultraviolet lamp than that of black lamp. TiO2 photocatalysts after photocatalytic reaction were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and differential thermogravimetric (TG-DTA) analysis. The reason of difference of photocatalytic efficiency under illumination of UV lamp and black lamp was discussed.

Key words: TiO2, formaldehyde, wavelength-effect, photocatalysis
