Development of an air purification strategy with microbially precipitated nanocatalysts. Ghent University
This projects wants to apply the added values of microbially precipitated nanocatalysts in water treatment for purification of air. For a number of target pollutants, new types of reactors and new types of catalysts (new biologically precipitated metals, bimetallic catalysts) will be investigated. Next to that, also an detailed caracerisation of the formed nanoparticles are the scope of this research.
Mechanisms of photocatalysis in TiO2 thin films for air purification Ghent University
The processes underlying the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin films for decomposition of volatile organic compounds from the atmosphere are investigated. This includes investigating the effect of film thickness, microstructure and doping on the activity and other physical parameters. The research is both experimental and theoretical (modeling the photocatalytic processes).
