N2 - The photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide and gold modified TiO2 (Au/TiO2), supported on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) thin film, was evaluated in the photodegradation of Trypan Blue (TB) under sunlight irradiation. The effect of parameters such as the photocatalyst amount and pH on TiO2 photocatalytic activity is investigated. Oxygen flow stream was applied to enhance the decomposition process of TB. The maximum photoactivity was attained using Au/TiO2-PMMA thin film at pH 2.
