Overview
Novel photocatalytic reactors
A non-equilibrium model proposed accounts for the mass balance in the liquid and solid phases
Elucidates macroscopic radiation balances and the postulation of relatively simple approaches using effective extinction coefficients
The experimental setup used here is unique and allows safe development of research on kinetic modeling
Comparisons to alternative technologies reveal the potential of photocatalysis
Focuses on air decontamination using Photo-CREC reactors

About this book
Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a novel technique for water purification. Publications on photocatalysis span a relatively recent period of not more than 25 years. This is a technique that, according to our extensive experience on the development of laboratory scale and pilot plant units, has great promise to eliminate water and air pollutants. Photocatalysis offers much more than competitive techniques where pollutants are transferred from phases; photocatalysis can achieve complete mineralization of pollutants leaving non-toxic species such as CO2 and H2O and can be exploited at close to room temperature and ambient pressure.
