Abstract The production of solar fuels via the photoreduction carbon dioxide to methane by titanium oxide is a promising process control greenhouse gas emissions and provide alternative renewable fuels. Although several reaction mechanisms have been proposed, detailed steps are still ambiguous, limiting factors not well defined. To improve our understanding photoreduction, multi-physics model w...

Pesticide contamination of natural waters is posing serious threats to water supplies in many parts of the world. Heterogenous photocatalytic Oxidation with TiO2 photocatalyst is emerging as an attractive technique for pesticide removal. Studies on Monocrotophos (MCP) a widely used pesticide in India, in an annular slurry photoreactor, revealed that the degradation rate is significantly affecte...

A series of 4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone mediated intra- and intermolecular photodecarboxylation reactions involving phthalimides have been examined under microflow conditions. Conversion rates, isolated yields and chemoselectivities were compared to analogous reactions in a batch photoreactor. In all cases investigated, the microreactions gave superior results thus proving the superiority of mic...
