Degradation of Phenol in Water by Photocatalytic Reactors

Environmental applications of heterogeneous photocatalysis are one of the rapidly growing areas of research. Photocatalytic oxidation had die advantage of complete mineralisation of pollutants into environmentally harmless confounds. In recent years, interest has focused on the use of TiO₂ as a photocatalyst for the destruction of polluting materials^1,2].
