High purity titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles were synthesised via a modified sol–gel method using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP). XRD analysis showed that the synthesised product was TiO 2 powder in anatase form. The sample possessed a relatively high surface area of 75.64 m 2 /g. The typical TEM images suggested that the crystalline phase product was composed of fine particles with dimensions between 17 and 20 nm. The synthesised material was used as a photocatalyst for the removal of mercaptans from gas–oil. The result showed that up to 78% of the mercaptans in gas–oil was removed using the synthesised TiO 2 photocatalyst.
