Photochemistry and water purification (Oxidation/reduction of pollutants/toxic metal ions, pathogen inactivation)
Chemistry of photon interaction with organic pollutants/pathogens/toxic metal ions (Personal care products, Endocrine disruptive chemicals, Pesticides, Dyes, Weed killers, Water borne pathogens etc) for degradation/oxidation/reduction under light irradiation in order to forsee their evolution, is followed by
- Absorption, Emission and Mass spectroscopy
- Chromatography (HPLC, GC) in order to follow up the photo product formation
- Photophysics: Time resolved fluorescence and transient absorption in order to determine the degradation mechanism
- Electron Microscopy
Photocatalysis for water disinfection
