Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenol
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2003In this study photocatalytic degradation of phenol in the presence of UV irradiated TiO2 catalyst and H2O2 was investigated. Effects of TiO2 and H2O2 concentrations and pH on photocatalytic degradation were examined. The rate constants for photocatalytic degradation were evaluated as a function of TiO2 and H2O2 concentrations and pH of the solution. It

Photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dinitrophenol
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009Contamination of the food supply from agricultural waste is an increasing concern worldwide. Numerous hazardous chemicals enter the environment from various industrial sources daily. Many of these pollutants, including 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), are water soluble, toxic, and not easily biodegradable.

Kinetics of the photocatalytic degradation of benzene
Catalysis Today, 2007The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of benzene in air has been studied on a standardized micro-pilot scale continuous flow apparatus. Both the yield of conversion of the reactant and the apparition of CO and CO2 have been monitored. The influences of concentration, light flux and temperature on the initial degradation rate have been studied.

A Short Review on Photocatalytic Degradation of Formaldehyde
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2015Nowadays, it is a great challenge to eliminate toxic and harmful organic pollutants from air and water. This paper reviews the role of TiO2 as a photocatalyst, light source and photoreactor in the particular case of removal of formaldehyde using the photocatalytic reaction by titanium dioxide (TiO2) in aqueous and gaseous systems.

Photocatalytic degradation of phosphamidon on semiconductor oxides
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2003The photocatalytic degradation of a small concentration of an organo-phosphorous (OP) insecticide phosphamidon, in water, on ZnO and TiO(2) is investigated. Of the two semiconductor oxides, TiO(2) is found to be more effective as a photocatalyst for this reaction. Several factors such as concentration of phosphamidon, pH of the system, catalyst loading
