Pure and metal doped nanocrystalline titania for the photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds

Abstract

Growing social concern about the impact of chemicals such as newlinepesticides herbicides detergents etc on the environmental damage and newlinehealth has focused attention on finding ways for more effective pollution newlineabatement methods Conventional purification methods for polluted water newlineinclude carbon adsorption ozonation microbial action and hydrolysis but newlinemany of them are inefficient Among many processes proposed newlinesemiconductor assisted photocatalysis has been widely employed to newlinedecompose pollutants newline newline
