Ohama Y. Van Gemert D. (eds.). Application of Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysis to Construction Materials

State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Committee 194-TDP. - Springer. 2011. - 61 p.Titanium dioxide photocatalysis is based on the semiconducting nature of its anatase crystal type. Construction materials with titanium photocatalyst show performances of air purification, self-cleaning, water purification, antibacterial action.
This book describes principles of titanium dioxide photocatalysis, its applications to cementitious and noncementitious materials, as well as an overview of standardization of testing methods.Authors and AcknowledgementsPrinciples of TiO₂ phoatalysis
