Article Synopsis
- Cerium (Ce) and europium (Eu)-doped TiO thin films were made using a sol-gel dip-coating method, resulting in surfaces with agglomerated particles, and displaying the TiO anatase phase in XRD patterns.
- The doped photocatalysts (Ce-TiO at 1wt% and Eu-TiO at 0.1wt%) showed lower electron transfer resistance in EIS measurements, which enhances the separation of electron-hole pairs during photoreactions.
- The Eu-TiO (0.1wt%) demonstrated the highest photocatalytic activity in degrading amido black 10B dye under UV light, achieving a 98.94% removal rate at optimal conditions, outperform

Several Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) including O/HO, O/TiO, O/activated carbon (AC), O/AlO, O/Fe/HO and UV/TiO have been investigated and compared for the removal of diethyl phthalate (DEP), an endocrine disrupting compound, in aqueous solutions. Hydroxyl radicals were the main species responsible for DEP degradation and this was supported by computational chemistry calculation, scavenger experiments, and LC/MS/MS analysis. The change of the abundance of reaction products over time was determined.

The effects of operating parameters such as initial pH; initial concentration of DEP, H2O2 and Fe2+; [H2O2]0/[Fe2+]0 ratio and O3 dosage on the degradation rates of DEP were investigated. The results showed that DEP degradation is strongly dependant on the pH; initial concentrations of the phthalate, H2O2 and Fe2+; [H2O2]0/[Fe2+]0 ratio and O3 dosage.
