C/TiO2 composite were prepared by the traditional sol-gel method .The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy , UV-visible spectroscopy and their photocatalytic properties were evaluated with 1 -naphthylamine -4 -azo benzene sulfonic acid .The effect of photodegradation time , initial con-centration , catalyst quantity on degradation rate was investigated .The degradation rate reached the maximum to 85 .41 %by illumination after 5 h when the original concentration of was 1-naphthylamine -4-azo benzene sulfon-i...
