The regulation of removal rate of chloroform in the water which was influenced by the material type, combined material proportion of loaded TiO₂ and zero-valence iron was researched by the experiment. Chloride ion selective electrode and headspace gas chromatography were adopted as the analysis methods. The UV-VIS absorption spectrum of carrier, loaded TiO₂ and loaded TiO₂ which was reacted with zero-valence iron was analyzed by TU-1901. The last one had obvious red-shift of absorption edge. It indicated that the removal of chloroform in water can be improved by using loaded TiO₂/zero-valence iron combination material in visible light. And the corresponding kinetics model was adopted to analyze the data.
