Characterization of the prepared photocatalysts was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy (DRUV-Vis) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Photodegradation study of aqueous diisopropanolamine solution (1000 ppm) using the prepared photocatalyst showed significant COD removal under visible light irradiation. The photocatalyst with 1.5 wt Cu gave the highest COD removal of 45 . {\^A}{\copyright} (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.}, issn = {10226680}, author = {Ramli, R. M. and Kait, C.
