The study on the effect of catalyst loading of photocatalytic degradation of phenol by using N, S co-doped TiO2 was investigated. The precursor of titania was Titanium (IV) isopropoxide (TTIP), while the sources of Nitrogen and Sulfur were ammonium nitrate and thiourea respectively. The photocatalyst were prepared by using dopant concentration at 1% of both Nitrogen and Sulphur that were prepared via sol-gel method. The photocatalyst were tested by different catalyst loading which were 1 g/L, 2g/L and 3 g/L. The gel obtained from the mixing process was dried and calcined at 600°C. The performance of the photocatalyst were tested by using phenol as a model pollutant. The mixture of photocatalyst and pollutant was left under visible light for five hours for irradiation time. The experiment showed that catalyst loading of 3 g/L able to fully degrade phenol while 1 g/L and 2 g/L of photocatalyst degraded phenol at 69.9% and 96.2% respectively. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
