The potential application of waste water treatment by photocatalysis is very likely to find its place in the near future. We have studied the photocatalytic degradation of three dyes (Eosin B, Rhodamine 6G, Rhodamine B) in the presence of doped n-TiO2 in water and found that anchoring groups are favorable to the photodegradation of the pollutants. Taking Rhodamine B as a model pollutant, this study points out an alternative route to enhance photodegradation in invisible light, which consumes energy to synthesize, but addition of 0.1 mM of I− or S2O32− increases the discoloration by up to three folds. For example, KI increased degradation to 36% while Na2S2O3 enhanced it by 61%, which was higher than that of pure n-TiO2 after sun light irradiation of 40 min. The enhancement of degradation by I− and S2O32− may be linked to the scavenging of the holes by the inorganic anions, thus inhibiting recombination between h+/e− after excitation of the semiconductor. The degradation is more effective in the presence of S2O32−. In the presence of 0.1 mM KI, the rate constant increased from 0.0231 s−1 to 0.0325 s−1.Peroxodisulphate increases degradation, however, this is attributed to the sulfate radicals
