Abstract
The results of many-year studies of the relationship between the physical properties and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 in photocatalytic purification and disinfection of air and water and water photodecomposition with oxygen evolution are presented. Recommendations are given as to finding the optimal method for platinum supporting on TiO2 to achieve the highest possible catalytic activity. Multisite kinetic models of the gas-phase oxidation of simple organic substances are considered. Methods for regenerating the photocatalyst after its deactivation in the oxidation of sulfur-containing organic substances are suggested. New data are discussed on the acceleration of air purification by the combination of photocatalytic oxidation with atmospheric electric discharges, the addition of gaseous hydrogen peroxide, and oxidation on photocatalysts existing in the aerosol state. As compared to pure TiO2, platinated titanium dioxide has a higher capability for disinfection and complete mineralization of microorganisms. Two promising methods for production of hydrogen from water using solar light are presented.
