The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the performance of a helical reactor in the photocatalytic removal of organic dye methyl orange from solution by titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles in two forms Immobilized on Support and suspension. In this study, TiO2 thin layer was synthesized by modified sol-gel method and fixed by dip coating method on a helical Support of stainless steel. The structural and morphology of TiO2 thin layer characterization techniques including X-day diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD results showed that the structure of the formed TiO2 layer has an anatase phase. The crystallite size of anatase phase (101) was calculated to be 18.73 nm. SEM images showed the TiO2 coated on stainless steel sample and the results showed that the use of the modified sol-gel method had a significant effect on the formation of the layer and its uniformity. The photocatalytic removal of methyl orange in a helical reactor and the ultraviolet radiation source located in the center of the reactor was evaluated. Analysis spectroscopy UV-Vis and total organic carbon (TOC) was used to evaluate discoloration and mineralization of pollutant.The effects of parameters such as the amount of TiO2 In suspension reactor, pH, flow rate, concentration of H2O2 as an oxidant and initial concentration of methyl orange was investigated. The removal efficiency of methyl orange from a solution with an initial concentration of 10 ppm with pH = 4 by TiO2 suspension with concentration of 0.9 g / l and flow rate of 25 L / min after 300 minutes reaction time, 97.3% was measured. In Immobilized photoreactor and other similar conditions, the removal efficiency decreased to 77.8%. The results obtained by comparing the removal efficiency of methyl orange show the superiority of the helical photoreactor with TiO2 suspension over the TiO2 Immobilized, which is due to the less effective collision of TiO2 particles and dye molecules in the stabilized system. This is due to the less effective collision of TiO2 particles and dye molecules in the stabilized system. The results showed that the addition of H2O2 had a synergistic effect on the removal efficiency of methyl orange, so that the performance of UV / H2O2
