Abstract
Photocatalysis is a new advanced oxidation process based on the irradiation of semiconductor materials, normally TiO2, with UV light having a wavelength smaller than 390 nm. Heterogeneous photocatalysis has emerged as a promising technology that could be instrumental in eliminating pollutants from air and water streams.
