The oxidative degradation of Rhodamine B dye under ultraviolet irradiation was studied. The degradation rate was measured with using of smartphone camera. Photocatalytic degradation of the Rhodamine B dye over the P25-TiO2 catalyst has been found to accelerate substantially in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The relationship between the photocatalytic degradation rate and H2O2 concentration has been studied. The optimal concentration of H2O2 has been found to in the range of 10-25 mM. The proposed mixture of P25 photocatalyst and H2O2 oxidizer can be used to remove organic pollutions from industrial waste water.
