Abstract

A composition photocatalyst SiO2/TiO2 based on nanodispersed titanium dioxide has been synthesized and its photocatalytic activity by oxidation of azo dye chrome brown has been studied. It is shown that the degree of decoloration of the chrome brown solution increases by 25%, when the content of the catalyst in the solution increases.
