Abstract: Titanium dioxide fibers(TiO2) were prepared from K2Ti 4O9 fiber precursors by ion exchange reaction in hydrochloric acid. The photocatalytic reactivity of titanium dioxide fibers was studied with helianthin Bas a model compound of waste water and the property of suspension sedimentation at different pHvalues was studied. The results show that TiO2 fibers have good photocatalysis properties equivalent to the commercial micron size TiO2. Furthermore, the serious agglomeration appears at pH=6.0 and can be easily separated from solution.
