Synthesis of Ag-TiO2/perlite composite for the photodegradation of methylene blue under solar light irradiation

The aim of this study was to investigate the photocatalytic activity improving of TiO2, Ag-TiO2 as photocatalysts which immobilized on perlite granules to degrade MB from synthetic wastewater under solar light irradiation. The photocatalytic mechanisms induced by solar light responsive Ag-TiO2/perlite composite was also proposed to demonstrate the photodegradation of MB cationic dye.
