This study aimed to find a way to remove organic pollutants, phenol and humic acid in aqueous solutions using TiO2 spherical activated carbon (Ti-SPAC). The Ti-SPAC was manufactured by resin ion-exchange and a heating process. This method was very effective not only in creating TiO2 on the surface of the supports evenly, but also in making activated carbon that has highly-developed micro pores. To estimate whether Ti-SPAC has the proper features as a photocatalyst and adsorbent, it was examined in detail by X-ray patterns, SEM image, EDXS, BET, EPMA. The results proved that Ti-SPAC is a very useful material for treating wastewater by photocatalysis and absorption.
