Abstract:
Photocatalytic processes are more and more widely used to remove different pollutants including microorganisms from liquid and gaseous media. However, methods for evaluating the efficiency of photocatalysts at inactivation/disintegration of microorganisms in the liquid film have limitations at predicting their efficiency for
microorganism-containing aerosols. The comparison of two types of photocatalysts was performed on Mycobacterium smegmatis bacterium and vaccinia virus using these new methods for evaluating the efficiency of photocatalysts at inactivation/disintegration of microorganisms in aerosols deposited on photocatalytic coatings. It has been shown that
the photocatalyst based on platinized TiO2 displays a higher activity at inactivation/disintegration of aerosols of both microorganisms than the photocatalyst based on “pure” titanium dioxide.
