Abstract
Modeling photocatalytic reaction processes requires careful consideration of reaction and adsorption phenomena. In order to establish the importance of these matters, experiments can be developed using model pollutants such as methylene blue, phenol, 2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, catechol (or 1,2 benzenediol), and pyrogallol (or 1,2,3 benzenetriol), each having quite different behaviours of adsorption and reaction.
