SUPPORTED TITANIUM-OXIDE AS PHOTOCATALYST IN WATER DECONTAMINATION - STATE-OF-THE-ART

Over the last two decades the interest on systems based on supported t itanium oxide as a photocatalyst for water decontamination has grown s ignificantly. A variety of supporting materials, coating methods, and reactor arrangements have been investigated from engineering as well a s from more fundamental points of view. A thorough search of the publi shed reports of these investigations was carried out and they are anal yzed in this paper. An overview of the state of the art in the subject is given.
