Effect of V-UV-radiation on VOCs-saturated zeolites

Photocatalytic oxidation for degradation of VOCs

“…Furthermore, PCO requires a low temperature and pressure, employs inexpensive semiconducting catalysts, and is suitable for the oxidation of a wide range of pollutants, both of organic and inorganic nature. Researchers have already focused on this promising technique and many beneficial advancements have been made in the field of VOCs [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Removal of VOCs from indoor air can be achieved using photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), an efficient, promising and cost-effective approach.…”

Degradation of 2,4-dihydroxibenzoic acid by vacuum UV process in aqueous solution: Kinetic, identification of intermediates and reaction pathway

“…Absorption of water increases steadily from approximately 190 to 120 nm and its electronic excitation in this spectral region induces its homolysis leading to the production of a large amount of hydrogen radicals (H • ) and HO • [7]. For this purpose, vacuum ultra-violet (V-UV) lamps have been used for water homolysis in water treatment [8][9][10][11][12] and gaseous stream treatment [13][14][15][16]. This kind of lamp is a very interesting and powerful source of HO • radicals [7,17] with a considerable potential for application.…”
