In the present study, a novel TiO2/Ti film with enhanced {001} facets was synthesized by the hydrothermal technique followed by calcination for studying the removal of bezafibrate (BZF), from an aqueous environment. The synthesized photocatalyst was characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, HR-TEM, and PL-technique. The second-order rate constant of (OH)-O-center dot with BZF was found to be 5.66 x 10(9) M-1 s(-1). The steady state [(OH)-O-center dot] was measured as 1.16 x 10(-11) M, on the basis of oxidation of terephthalic acid. The photocatalytic degradation of BZF followed pseudo-first-order kinetics according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model (k(1) = 2.617 mg L-1 min(-1) and k(2) = 0.0796 (mg L-1)(-1)). The effects of concentration and the nature of various additives including inorganic anions (NO3-, NO2-, HCO3-, CO32-, Cl-) and organic species (fulvic acid) and initial solution pHs (2, 4, 6, 9) on photocatalytic degradation of BZF were investigated. It was found that the nature and concentration of studied additives significantly affected the photocatalytic degradation of BZF. The efficiency of the photocatalytic degradation process in terms of electrical energy per order was estimated. Degradation schemes were proposed on the basis of the identified degradation byproducts by ultraperformance liquid chromatography.
