Lexuan Zhong,Fariborz Haghighat +1 more
TL;DR: A critical review of the state-of-the-art of PCO technologies in the field of air purification and their application prospects is presented in this paper, where the fundamental principles, including mass transfer, adsorption and surface reaction, are reviewed, providing rational explanations for research results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation for indoor air applications: Systematic experimental evaluation
TL;DR: A systematic parametric evaluation of the effects of various kinetic parameters, such as compound's type, inlet concentration, airflow rate, light intensity, and relative humidity, was conducted, and new interpretations were provided from a fundamental analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption performance of titanium dioxide (TiO2) coated air filters for volatile organic compounds.
TL;DR: Adsorption performance is closely related to the characteristics of substrates and therefore, the development of a substrate with high adsorption ability is a promising trend for improving the performance of the UV-PCO technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and modeling study of visible light responsive photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) materials for toluene degradation.
TL;DR: This evaluation of TiNbON shows the potential to remove VOCs and improve air quality for indoor applications, and further research is needed to evaluate the potential for harmful by-products, to identify optimal conditions, and to use field tests to show real-world performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and physical interpretation of photocatalytic oxidation efficiency in indoor air applications
TL;DR: In this article, the mass transports and reaction mechanism involved in the photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) process have been studied and the kinetic models of PCO on the different conditions of elementary reactions have been critically reviewed.
