Photocatalytic degradation of salicylic acid on fixed TiO2 - kinetic studies

The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 deposits (Degussa-P25 and Sachtleben-Hombikat) has been studied using salicylic acid as a model water pollutant and an UV-fluorescent lamp as a light source. Both catalysts have shown very similar properties towards the photocatalytic degradation of salicylic acid...
