Developments in solar photocatalysis for water purification.

Alfonso Vidal
- 01 May 1998 - 
TL;DR: Preliminary results at laboratory scale with these chemicals have provided a better understanding of the photocatalytic process which seems to be efficient and not selective, being possible to reduce 99.9% of gamma-lindane levels in water in acceptable times.

Halide acid pretreatments of photocatalysts for oxidation of aromatic air contaminants: rate enhancement, rate inhibition, and a thermodynamic rationale

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of chlorine radical generation during the photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic contaminants in air can be shown to be significant, and the results appear consistent with a thermodynamic analysis proposed here, which indicates that florine radical generation is not energetically feasible under the conditions considered, but the radicals are insufficiently reactive to initiate the degradation of aromatics.

Preparation of a mesoporous high surface area titanium oxo phosphate via a non-ionic surfactant route

TL;DR: In this paper, a mesoporous titanium oxo phosphate was synthesized by a non-ionic template route (N 0 I 0 ), which is dominated by hydrogen bonding between self-assembled surfactant micelles and inorganic precursors.
