Photodegradation of methyl orange was investigated using synthesized TiO2:Mg2+/zeolite as the photocatalyst. The photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray, XRF, FT-IR, and SEM. The photocatalytic activities of TiO2:Mg2+/zeolite samples were evaluated in the degradation of methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The appropriate content of Mg in the composite was obtained as 4.711 wt% with ...
