A strong hydrogen bond (H‐bond) exists in a binary mixture of dye aqueous solution (e.g. methylene blue, MB) with a ketone (e.g. acetone, AC) contamination. According to the limited literature and our preliminiary results, the MB in an MB/AC binary solution is not degradable (the decolorization percentage is <10%) within 30–40 min of the initiated oxidation process. In this study, we use a Bi‐doped TiO2 electro‐catalytic system, Fenton system, photo‐Fenton, and Bi‐doped or non‐doped TiO2 photocatalytic systems as the oxidation systems for MB/AC binary aqueous solutions. The results show that highly Bi‐doped TiO2 can be used as an effective catalyst in electro‐catalytic systems to realize an H‐bond stabilized dye solution with ketones; the decolorization percentage of electro‐catalytic systems is almost 60% within 30 min, which is better than that of 20% for the Fenton and photo‐Fenton catalytic oxidation systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
