Photocatalytic Detoxification of Water and Air

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Environmental Photochemistry Part II

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC2,volume 2M))

Abstract

The use of semiconductor photocatalysis for treatment of water and air has been a topic of intense research activity over the past 20 years. This chapter provides a review of this highly effective technology. The fundamental processes involved in the technique are initially detailed with a discussion of some recent novel concepts in photocatalysis. A range of applications of water and air treatment are subsequently described with examples of mechanistic description of the major breakdown pathways of some key compounds. Examples of large-scale water treatment applications are also discussed.
