TL;DR: In this paper, a model was developed based on the mechanistic steps in photocatalysis to elucidate the role of particle size on the apparent photoactivity of TiO2 for the photooxidation of organic substrates in water.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the solvent media on the cyclohexane oxidation rate and reaction selectivity was investigated in various solvents, including acetone, isopropanol, dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, and n-hexane.

TL;DR: In this paper, a kinetic model containing three parameters was developed based upon mechanistic considerations to include the effect of dissolved oxygen over a range of conditions in aqueous media, and the model was fit to the experimental data generated in this study for the photo-oxidation of phenol to determine the best values for the model parameters.

TL;DR: The ability of M. thermautotrophicus cells to reduce toxic Cr6+ to less toxic Cr3+ and its potential application in metal bioremediation, especially at high temperature subsurface radioactive waste disposal sites, where the temperature may reach ∼70°C is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the catalyst synthesis method and CuO loading on catalyst properties and performance were assessed for the catalytic oxidation of ethanol vapor over CuO/Fe 2 O 3 catalysts.
