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 …

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) constitute a promising technology for the treatment of
wastewaters containing non-easily removable organic compounds. Chlorophenols (CPs) …

Photocatalysis (by semiconductors, molecules and ions) is used in such diverse applications
as water hydrolysis for producing hydrogen as fuel, organic synthesis and the recovery of …

For the treatment of wastewater that contain recalcitrant organic compounds, such as organo-
halogens, organic pesticides, surfactants, and colouring matters, wastewater engineers are …

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 …

The photolysis of liquid H2O by vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photolysis, and in particular by the
radiation emitted by Xe-excimer sources (172nm) is reviewed, and the impact of the primary …

The photocatalytic degradation of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) in aqueous solution was studied
using Co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles catalyst. The catalyst samples were synthesized by a …
