Research abstract
Air pollution by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been a major environmental problem. Existing technologies for the control of VOC emission, such as thermal catalytic conversion, incineration and adsorption suffer from high energy cost and secondary pollution. An innovative nano-structured photocatalyst is proposed for the destruction/mineralization of VOCs in air at standard temperature and pressure. The nano-structured photocatalyst is anticipated to be highly efficient and flexible to a variety effluent conditions.
