Efficiency Evaluation for Titanium Dioxide-Based Advanced Materials in Water Treatment

We present a comparative evaluation of efficiency of titanium dioxide polymorphs as an active photocatalyst (commercially available DegussaP25, anatase (Sigma Aldrich), natural leucoxene concentrate (Pizhemskoe deposit, Russia) and titanium dioxide nanotubes based on it). The materials obtained on the basis of relatively inexpensive and affordable ilmenite-leucoxene ore have the same efficiency as more expensive commercial products.
