Abstract:
Recently, serious air pollution, such as PM2.5 and smog, has raised public awareness of air quality. NOx (NO+NO2) is one of the most detrimental pollutants, both to the environment and human beings, because it not only possesses toxicity but also contributes to the aforementioned problems. This talk begins with a introduction of the NOx (pollutant) abatement technique to coal-burning flue gas in our state-of-art pilot-scale photoreactor, followed by the modification of photocatalysts, with the intention of improving photocatalytic efficiency using titania nanosheet (TiO2 nanosheet) photocatalysts. Finally, this talk will end up in a additional study of electrochemical wastewater treatment using carbon-based electrodes with Fenton and ozonation reaction. Ultimately, these findings promise to provide better air and water quality and even greater quality of life for future generation.
