Coupling the six flux absorption-scattering model to the Henyey-Greenstein scattering phase function: Evaluation and optimization of radiation absorption in solar heterogeneous photoreactors
Raúl Acosta-Herazo,Jesus Monterroza-Romero,Miguel Angel Mueses,Fiderman Machuca-Martínez,Gianluca Li Puma +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new version of the six-flux radiation absorption-scattering model (SFM) was developed through fitting the Local Volumetric Rate of Photon Absorption (LVRPA) determined in a flat photoreactor to the "pseudo-experimental" LVRPA calculated by a Monte Carlo (MC) approach, which included the Henyey-Greenstein (HG) expression.

Photocatalytic degradation of herbicide Bentazone in aqueous suspension of TiO2: mineralization, identification of intermediates and reaction pathways
TL;DR: Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry analysis of the irradiated mixture of Bentazone indicates the formation of several intermediate products which have been characterized on the basis of molecular ion/mass fragmentation pattern and also on comparison with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library.
