Photocatalytic degradation of toluene, butyl acetate and limonene under UV and visible light
- Since Central Europeans spend most of their time indoors, the quality of the indoor air is important. Sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) indoors are e. g. building materials, wall and floor coverings and interior equipment, whose emissions might influence the health and wellbeing of people. Photocatalysis is one opportunity to improve the indoor air quality by degrading VOCs ideally to carbon dioxide and water. Titanium dioxide (Ti02) in its anatase modification (band gap of 3.2 eV) is a common used UV-active photocatalytic coating. Because of the lack of UV light indoors Ti02 needs to be modified to be active under visible light too. This work focuses on the photocatalytic degradation of toluene, butyl acetate and limonene under UV LED light and blue LED light in emission test chambers under controlled climatic conditions. These compounds were selected due to their frequent occurrence in the indoor environment and their supply was done with a gas mixing System.
