A model for analyzing the performance of photocatalytic air cleaner in removing volatile organic compounds
TL;DR: In this article, a photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) reactor model was developed to analyze the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor air, and two parameters, the fractional conversion, e, and the number of mass transfer units (NTU m ), were found to be the main parameters influencing the photooxidation performance of PCO reactors.
