Experience in heterogeneous photocatalytic processes
Heterogeneous photocatalytic processes are of special interest due to their numerous benefits. One of the most widely discussed benefits is that different photocatalytic processes, such as air purification, decreased CO2 emissions, fuel production, and chemical production, can be driven using light as an energy source. This presentation showcases our experience with heterogeneous photocatalytic processes. Special attention is given to NOx and H-C removal (including CH4). We present and discuss experimental setups, photocatalytic reactors, and selected results.
