How PHOTOCATALYST works??
PHOTOCATALYST reaction
make radical hydroxyl (OH-) and
radical O2 with very strong
Radical hydroxyl (OH-) and radical O2 with very strong will
Destroy all and other organic contaminants into CO2 and H2O
Conduction Band
Radical Oxygen

Valence Band Radical

Hydroxyl
Why PHOTOCATALYST ???
PHOTOCATALYST
is Energy Saving
Photocatalyst can be initiate by UV lamp and visible lamp
PHOTOCATALYST is
Relatively Cheap
Photocatalyst raw material is relatively cheap
PHOTOCATALYST
is Sustainable
Only need one time doping and never run out
PHOTOCATALYST is
Environmentally Friendly
Photocatalyst convert hazardous organic contaminants and
bacteria into harmless substance CO2 and H2O
PHOTOCATALYST
APPLICATION
SELFCLEANING GLASS
Doping with nanoparticle photocatalyst made the glass
hydrophobic and photocatalyst destroy the bacteria or
other contaminants so glass always clean.
PHOTOCATALYTIC
WATER SPLITTING
Photocatalyst convert H2O into H2 through oxidation
process with the light irradiation. The example of efficient
photocatalyst in the UV range is based on a sodium
tantalite (NaTaO3) doped with La and loaded with a
cocatalyst nickel oxide.
SODIS
SOLAR WATER DISINFECTION
Disinfection of water by supported photocatalysts. Photocatalyst
reaction kill the bacteria inside the water with oxidation process.
CONVERTION of into
gaseous in the
presence of water
At present, proposed reaction mechanisms usually suggest the
creation of a highly reactive carbon radical from carbon monoxide and
carbon dioxide which then reacts with the photogenerated protons to
ultimately form methane.
STERILIZATION of
Surgical Instruments And Removal Of Unwanted Fingerprints From
Sensitive Electrical And Optical Components
Contaminants can be removed by UV light irradiation wtih the presence of photocatalyst
CRUDE OIL DECOMPOSITION
By using photocatalysts and UV-A radiation from the sun, the hydrocarbons
found in crude oil can be turned into H2O and CO2.
And many others PHOTOCATALYST APPLICATION
PHOTOCATALYST and NANOTECHNOLOGY will be
more advance time by the time.
LETS BE PART OF IT!!!
