Abstract
The absorption and emission properties of rose bengal have been characterized on the surfaces of SiO{sub 2}, Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, and TiO{sub 2} particles. The intrinsic properties of these oxide supports play an important role in effecting and controlling the photochemistry of the adsorbed dye. On the Al{sub 2}O surface, a biphotonic photoionization process leads to the production of semioxidized dye. However, a charge injection from the excited dye into the conduction band dominates on the TiO{sub 2} particles. Steady-state photolysis indicates a rapid photodegradation of the dye only on the surface of TiO{sub 2}. The diffuse reflectance laser flash photolysis experiments which elucidate the mechanism of photochemical processes on these oxide supports are described.

TiO2-assisted photodegradation of dye pollutants : II. Adsorption and degradation kinetics of eosin in TiO2 dispersions under visible light irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation kinetics followed a Langmuir-Hinshelwood type equation and the rate was greater in acid media than in neutral and alkaline media, which correlates with the adsorption behavior of eosin on the TiO2 surface.
