In this study, the photocatalytic degradtion of D-glucose with the micro channel reactor was performed on the various experimental conditions. To apply the $TiO_2$ coating on the micro channel reactor, $TiO_2$ solution was synthesized by hydrolysis of titanium oxysulfate. The feeding rate was proportional to degradation rate of D-glucose solution over the micro channel reactor. Also, the reaction rate constant and Langmuir adsorption coefficient were calculated under various experimental conditions. And the results of these system photonic efficiencies were calculated. This study aims to understand the photocatalytic degradation characteristics on $TiO_2$ coating in the micro channel reactor experimented by the feed batch reaction system.

The photocatalytic activity of phenol degradation was investigated with the variation of operating parameters in $UV/TiO_2$ honeycomb reactor. In the comparison of phenol degradation rates among various $TiO_2$, Ishihara (STS-02)-coated honeycomb exhibited a slightly higher photocatalytic activity than Degussa P25-coated honeycomb. On the other hand, honeycomb coated by alcohol-mixed $TiO_2$ (N Co.) did not exhibit any photocatalytic activity on phenol degradation. With the increase of Degussa P25 coating amounts, the honeycomb reactor exhibited the gradual increase of phenol degradation rates. The degradation rate of phenol over $UV/TiO_2$ (Degussa P25) honeycomb reactor was asymptotically increased up to 500 mL/min, subsequently followed by a slight decrease as the recirculation rate (100~700 mL/min) was increased. UV absorption at 269 nm was high due to partial degradation of phenol at initial reaction time because the honeycomb surface was pre-adsorbed by phenol prior to UV irradiation.

고도산화방식(AOPs: Advanced Oxidation Processes)을 이용한 수질 및 공기오염물질 처리 관련 연구가 국내에서 지난 수년간 다수 진행되었으며 현재도 진행되고 있다. 특히 근래에는 공기오염물질 처리에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있는데, 이는 향후 시행될 실내공기질 규제에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 공기처리, 특히 실내공기 처리에 적용될 가능성이 있는 기존의 방법들 중에서 플라즈마와 광촉매반응(Ollis, 1993)이 가장 적용 타당성이 높은 것으로 판단된다. (중략)

최근 대기 환경오염이 심각한 문제로 부각됨에 따라 독성 유기물질 분해 및 제독에 반도체 광촉매를 이용한 광산화기술(Advanced Oxidation Process, AOP)을 적용한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 1972년 Fujishima와 Honda가 전압을 걸어준 TiO$_2$ 단결정 전극상에 자외선을 쪼이면 물이 수소와 산소로 광분해되는 것을 발견한 이후 분균일 광촉매반응(Heterogeneous Photocatalysis)에 관한 연구가 시작되었다.(중략)

Photocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous solution was investigated using $TiO_2$ nanoparticles (Degussa P25) in this study. After a 3 hr photocatalytic reaction (${\lambda}=365nm$ and $I=3mW\;cm^{-2}$, $[TiO_2]=2.0g\;L^{-1}$), 98% of BPA ($1.0{\times}10^{-5}M$) was degraded and 89% of the total organic carbon was removed. In addition, BPA degradation by photolytic, hydrolytic and adsorption reactions was found to be 2%, 5% and 13%, respectively. The reaction rate of BPA degradation by photocatalysis decreased with increasing concentration of methanol that is used as a hydroxyl radical scavenger. This indicates that the reaction between BPA and hydroxyl radical was the key mechanism of BPA degradation. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant for this reaction was determined to be $7.94{\times}10^{-4}min^{-1}$, and the time for 90% BPA removal was found to be 25 min. In addition, acute toxicity testing using Daphnia magna neonates (< 24 h old) was carried out to evaluate the reduction of BPA toxicity. Acute toxicity (48 hr) to D. magna was decreased from 2.93 TU (toxic unit) to non-toxic after photocatalytic degradation of BPA for 3 hr. This suggests that there was no formation of toxic degradation products from BPA photocatalysis.

The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde and methylethylketone(MEK) were studied by the batch scale of photo-reactor. Variable parameters were initial concentration of acetaldehyde and MEK, water vapor content, and temperature. The photocatalytic degradation rate was increased with increasing concentration of acetaldehyde and MEK, but maintained gentle increase beyond a certain concentration. The Langmuir-Hinselwood model was successfully applied to correlate experimental data. Water vapor inhibited the degradation reaction of acetaldehyde and MEK. The optimum reaction temperature was $45^{\circ}C$ for acetaldehyde and MEK.

In this study, $TiO_2$ powders were prepared by hydro-thermal synthesis with titanium tetra isopropoxide. The prepared $TiO_2$ and the commercial $TiO_2$(P-25, Degussa) were by impregnating $H_2PtCl_6$ solution or the leached solution from the waste catalytic converter of automobile. Modified photocatalysts were analyzed by ICP-AES, UV-DRS, XRD, SEM. And band-gap energy of modified photo-catalyst was found to decreased to 1.76eV and basic structure was changed upon modification by leached solution. Modified photocatalysts were coated on the wallpaper after using mixed solution with adhesive materials(PVC). And then to know the modified photo catalysts tested the reactivity and quantum efficiency in the mixed gas with NO as reactants in the photo catalytic reactor. In the gas phase, photo-catalytic activity of NO was the highest for modified P-25 catalysts(P-25(w)) that P-25(w) was impregnated by leached solution of wasted catalytic converter.
