Phtotoreactor and Light Source: The reactor used in all experiments
was a XPA-VII type photochemical apparatus (Xujiang Machine Fac-
tory, Nanjing, China). A 300 W high pressure mercury lamp equipped
with cool water circulating filter to absorb the near IR radiation was
used as the UV light source. The lamp was always allowed to stabilize
before use.
Evaluation of Photocatalytic Activity: Freshly prepared aqueous
solutions of MO (2ϫ10–5) in the presence of 1 (3.11ϫ10–6 m) or 2
(3.11ϫ10–6 m) and H2O2 (2.40ϫ10–2 m) were magnetically stirred for
30 min in the dark. Then the solutions were started to photocatalytic
degradation under aerated conditions at ambient temperature in the
presence/absence of UV light irradiation. The solutions were magneti-
cally stirred throughout the experiment. At given time intervals, 3 mL
aliquots were sampled and subsequently analyzed by TU-1901 UV/Vis
spectrophotometer (Beijing Purkinje General Instrument Co., Ltd.) to
record the temporal UV/Vis spectral variations of the dye. The MO
concentration was determined by measuring the maximum absorbance
at 465 nm as a function of irradiation time using the UV/Vis spectro-
photometer. All the tests were carried out three times to ensure the
reproducibility.
