TiO2-mediated heterogeneous photocatalysis of saturated aliphatic C1 to C5 carboxylic acids : kinetics, degradation pathway, and process efficiency
In this study, we first look at the relation between pH and extent of dark adsorption for aqueous suspensions of linear C1 to C5 saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids, their branched analogues, and their 2-hydroxy and 2-keto derivatives, over TiO 2 Degusa P25. We demonstrate that the observed trends...
