The field of surface science provides a unique approach to understanding bulk, surface and
interfacial phenomena occurring during TiO 2 photocatalysis. This review highlights, from a …

Dichloromethane (DCM) is a toxic volatile compound which is found in the ground waters
and wastewaters of the pharmaceutical, chemical, textile, metal-working and petroleum …

An oxide photocatalyst Bi 2 WO 6 with corner-shared WO 6 octahedral layered structure was
synthesized. Its band gap was determined to be 2.69 eV from UV–vis diffuse reflectance …

The effect of fluoride ions on the photocatalytic degradation of phenol in an aqueous
suspension of TiO2 has been investigated. Fluoride ions displace surficial hydroxyl groups …

TiO2-catalyst suspensions work efficiently in photocatalysis for wastewater treatment.
Nevertheless, once photocatalysis is complete, separation of the catalyst from solution …

The combination of a nonthermal, atmospheric plasma with a catalyst is investigated as a
means of destroying pollutants in waste gas streams. Using the examples of …

An EC-DGXII BRITE-EURAM-III-financed project called 'Solar detoxification technology in
the treatment of persistent non-biodegradable chlorinated industrial water contaminants' is …

ZnS nanocrystallites (nc-ZnS) prepared in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) photocatalyze
dehalogenation of halogenated benzenes to benzene as the final product from chlorinated …

The TiO2-mediated photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorocatechol is studied as a branch of
the degradation of 4-chlorophenol. In addition to some basic kinetic studies, the identities of …

The alkaline activation of persulfate (PS) has been tested in this study as in situ oxidation
technology for the abatement of dichloromethane (DCM), a chlorinated volatile organic …
