A B S T R A C TThe photocatalystic decolorization of the mixture of three textile azo dyes, i.e. Reactive Red (RR) 193, RR 198 and RR 239, with N, or Cr 3+ or Fe 3+ doped TiO 2 film photocatalysts under solar light irradiation was studied. The effect of different factors, i.e. concentration of dopant, pH of the solution, additive of H 2 O 2 and irradiation source on the photocatalytic decolorization efficiency of the TiO 2 film catalysts, was investigated. The optimal doping concentration is 0.2 at.% with N-or Cr 3+ , with larger than 96% of the decolorizing efficiencies after 4 h irradiation time. The decolorization of the dyes was strongly enhanced by the addition of hydrogen peroxide in the pH of 3.0. Under solar light irradiation in the presence of H 2 O 2 , both N-doped and Cr 3+ -doped TiO 2 thin film were also applied to photocatalytically decolorize a textile wastewater sample.
