Photo Catalytic Reaction of Titanium Dioxide by Sol-Gel Method
By Jahangir Payamara
ABSTRACT
Toluene, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are pollutants and their emissions have indirectly influence climate change photocatalytic oxidation one method which can degrade the toluene by using titanium dioxide as a catalyst by sol-gel technique. The reactant mol ratio for titanium dioxide sol-gel formation was 1:40. The dependency of the toluene removal efficiency on relative humidity, UV light intensity, and photocalalyst loading were studied in the photocatalytic reactor. The results show factors play an important role in the oxidation of toluene.
