New Holistic Conceptual Framework for the Assessment of the Performance of Photocatalytic Pavement

Improving the Indoor Air Quality by Using Photocatalytic Paints. Real Scale Study at Technical University of Madrid

“…LIFE Photoscaling (2014Photoscaling ( -2019 was further focused on the sustainability of applying the photocatalytic technology to construction materials in urban areas and created a decision-maker tool that takes into account all the aspects concerning this technology, i.e. chemical and mechanical performance and potential secondary effects (Jimenez-Relinque et al, 2020). The NO x reduction measured achieved 30%.…”

From analysis to decision: Revision of a multifactorial model for the in situ assessment of NOx abatement effectiveness of photocatalytic pavements

“…12). In addition to microscopy observations performed here, such characteristics might be quantified based on simple laboratorytests such as those described in [31].…”

“…Despite significant efforts made by the governments and key stakeholders pursuing a radical shift of the urban transportation paradigm towards electric mobility, the analytic reports predict that the vehicles with combustion engines including diesel engines will remain the base of the local transport till 2040-2050 [31]. Hence, the problem of urban air contamination by the road vehicle exhaust will persist in midterm that urges to find efficient technologies for its remediation.…”

Durability and Safety Performance of Pavements with Added Photocatalysts

“…This study has been made in the framework of the life project life-photoscaling [50]. The composition and characteristics of the photocatalysts cannot be disclosed here for confidentiality reasons.…”
