Photocatalytic Enhancement of Anatase Supported on Mesoporous Modified Silica for the Removal of Carbamazepine.

ABSTRACT: TiO₂ is the most used material for the photocatalytic removal of organic pollutants in aqueous media. TiO₂, specifically its anatase phase, is well-known for its great performance under UV irradiation, high chemical stability, low cost and non-toxicity. Nevertheless, TiO₂ presents two main drawbacks: its limited absorption of the visible spectrum; and its relatively low specific surface area and pore volume. Regarding the latter, several works in the literature have addressed the issue by developing new synthesis approaches in which anatase is dispersed and supported on the surface of porous materials. In the present work, two series of materials have been prepared where anatase has been supported on mesoporous silica (MSTiR%) in situ through a hydrothermal
