The as-synthesized CdS-WO3 nanocomposite and its individual components were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier transformation infra-red spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The composite was then used in photodegradation of phenazopyridine aqueous solution and it showed a synergistic photocatalytic activity with respect to the individual CdS and WO3 semiconductors. The composite showed also a lower PL intensity than the single semiconductors. Optimal conditions in photodegradation experiments were C-php: 10 mg L-1, pH 4, irradiation time: 45 min and 0.9 g L-1 of the CdS-WO3 catalyst when the moles of WO3 were twice greater than CdS in the composite. The kinetics of the photodegradation process obeyed the Hinshelwood equation and a rate constant of 6.96 x 10(-3) min 1 with a half-life time of 99.6 min was obtained by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Also, the mineralization extent of the PhP molecules was followed by the COD technique and a rate constant of 0.052 min(-1) with a t(1/2 )of 13 min was obtained. HPLC analysis of the PhP solution showed that about 90% of PhP molecules were degraded for 45 min.
