Non-linear regression analysis of the kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of phenol using immobilised mesoporous TiO₂ nanoparticles on glass beads

The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of phenol in batch re-circulated photo reactor packed with immobilised TiO2 nanoparticles on glass beads was estimated under UV light process using non-linear regression analysis. TiO2 nanoparticles are immobilised on glass beads by a simple and inexpensive method. The photocatalytic degradation of phenol using immobilised TiO2 followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. A model was established using...
