Influence of palladium content dispersed in the TiO photocatalyst for degradation of volatile organic compounds in gas emission.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is highlighted to treat volatile organic compound (VOC) emission. Then, this work analysed the influence of palladium (Pd) content loaded in TiO on n-octane and iso-octane photodegradation. For this, TiO was loaded with Pd in different contents: 0.

Toluene degradation by heterogeneous photocatalysis assisted with ozone in a tubular reactor: analysis over the reactor length.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are atmospheric pollutants that can affect human healthy and intensify some environmental problems. Among different techniques to degrade VOCs, heterogeneous photocatalysis has been highlighted. The aim of this research was to obtain high toluene degradation using heterogeneous photocatalysis in the ozone presence (TiO/O/UV) and analyze VOC degradation over the reactor length comparing with ozone concentration also over the reactor length.

Photodegradation of cyclohexane and toluene using TiO/UV/O in gas phase.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are air pollutants usually found in urban and industrial areas. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is an interesting technique used to degrade these compounds. Several approaches may enhance this process; some studies have shown higher VOC conversions by adding ozone to the experimental system, once ozone increases the number of reactive radicals in the reaction.
