Abstract

The use of unconventional water is very effective in solving dehydration problems. The studies on these sources have shown that concentrations of some pollutants are higher than standard, but by employing different methods the researchers would eliminate the pollutants. The use of photocatalyst is a novel method for removing pollutants from aqueous solutions(Ehrampoosh et al., 2011, Konstantinou and Albanis, 2004).In this research, the photocatalytic process of titanium dioxide stabilized on the surface of plexiglass in the removal of phenol in different pH levels (3, 7 and 11) and different powers of ultraviolet radiation (25, 50, 75 and 100 watts) was comprehensively investigated.
