Advances in Photocatalytic Disinfection: Performances and Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photocatalytic technology is a sustainable, efficient, and eco‐friendly advanced oxidation process for addressing the hazards of microorganisms (bacteria viruses). In this article, latest results in studies on use semiconductor photocatalysts to remove their related genes (DNA RNA) from environment, including operating conditions removal efficiency, are summarized. The photocatalytic‐disinfection mechanism described detail, solar (especially ultraviolet light) disinfection, physical damage by sharp edges photocatalysts, various reactive oxygen species generated during photocatalytic processes. Also, difficulties challenges disinfection practical applications discussed. With further development photocatalysis technology, sunlight‐driven even indoor‐light‐driven will have more promising application environmental involving water, air, object surfaces.

متن کاملReview of mechanisms and recent advances in cancer photo thermal therapy
Abstract. Cancer is a major health problem all over the world. Photo thermal therapy (PTT) is a non-invasive method in cancer treatment. In PTT, the laser light usually in near-infra red region is absorbed and converted to heat in the cancerous tissue. The temperature above 40 ° C in PTT can induce some effects including irreversible damage to proteins, changes in enzyme struc...

an adjuvant is a substance that is added to a vaccine to increase the body's immune response to the vaccine. vaccines containing adjuvants are tested for safety in clinical trials before they are licensed for used. the basic action of adjuvants is stimulating adaptive immune responses. adjuvants, recently licensed for human utlization, involve alum squalane oil or water emulsion, influenza viro...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of photocatalytic ionisation disinfection of filter materials.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of photocatalytic ionisation as a disinfection method for filter materials contaminated by microorganisms, and to assess how air relative humidity (RH), time and microbe type influence the effectiveness of this disinfection. In the quantitative analysis of a used car air filter, bacterial contamination equalled 1.2 x 10(5) cfu/cm2, fu...
