Heterogeneous Photocatalysis

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a developing science. General papers in recent meeting proceedings cover part of the scope but book aims to present a detailed and coherent description of the entire field. It discusses the basic principles of heterogeneous photocatalysis and describes the bulk and surface properties of semiconductors. Applications to various types of photoreactions and the problems related to the modeling and design of photoreactors are debated. Case studies demonstrate how heterogeneous catalysis can be used to solve engineering problems such as pollution control. It outlines the fundamental principles involved, discusses problems associated with modelling and designing photoreactors, and illustrates how principles can be applied to solve engineering problems.
