TL;DR: In this paper, three commercially available TiO2-catalysts, namely Degussa P25, Sachtleben Hombikat UV100 and Millennium TiONA PC50, were platinized by a photochemical impregnation method in two ratios of platinum deposits (0.5 and 1.5 ).

TL;DR: The results show that platinization has a distinct influence on the commercial compounds, decreasing globally the activity of P25 and increasing theActivity of PC50 and UV100 and an influence of charge-carrier lifetimes on the photoactivity of pure and platinized TiO2 samples has been evidenced.

TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of EDTA at pH 3 was studied by the ferrioxalate/H2O2 process under solar irradiation and the final extent of degradation was found to decrease with higher oxalate concentrations, probably by competition of oxalates with EDTA or its degradation products.

TL;DR: A complete study on the photocatalytic degradation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid over TiO2 has been initiated, to establish the influence of several parameters on the reaction rate, the nature of the intermediates and the kinetic regime.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photocatalytic degradation of EDTA over TiO2 has been analyzed to establish the influence of oxidants on the reaction rate, the nature of the intermediates and the kinetic regime Degussa P-25 suspensions containing EDTA at initial pH 3 in different concentrations were irradiated under near UV light.
