Photocatalytic oxidation
Photocatalytic oxidation is a process using light-activated catalysts, typically titanium dioxide, to break down harmful pollutants in air or water. When exposed to ultraviolet or visible light, the catalyst creates reactive molecules that attack and neutralize pollutants like bacteria, VOCs, and organic compounds. This technology is environmentally friendly and often used in air purification, water treatment, and self-cleaning surfaces. It effectively transforms contaminants into harmless substances like carbon dioxide and water, promoting cleaner environments without the need for harsh chemicals.
