Fenton process and photocatalytic reaction have been employed in this study. As the anode continues to be irradiated by UV light, it is the photo-Fenton process. electrons are generated and then move to cathode to reduce oxygen in the cathode. Then hydrogen peroxide is produced and it diffuses to the solution to react with ferrous ion, in which hydroxyl radical will be generated for the destruction of organic pollutant. Titanium dioxide thin film electrode prepared by the sol-gel method is employed as the anode, and its crystal structure has been analyzed. Adsorption and bonding way with oxygen atoms between Titanium dioxide thin film and ITO glass have been developed by XPS analysis. the particle size of Titanium dioxide is estimated. Absorbance data was obtained by UV-vis analysis and the energy gap was estimated. Finally, the I-V curves show the photocurrent effect when a positive voltage was added to the system.
