Heterogeneous Photocatalysis for Purification, Decontamination and Deodorization of Air

Abstract

A research review of gas–solid heterogeneous photocatalysis is presented, ranging from details of pioneering works, which dealt with basic phenomena like oxygen and water vapor adsorption, to recent applications to pollutant removal in contaminated atmospheres. Special interest is taken in describing the different reactor configurations studied so far in this emerging and promising field. © 1997 SCI
