Opis

Due to the semiconducting nature of its anatase crystal type, titanium dioxide in construction materials acts as a photocatalyst and exhibits air purifying, self-cleaning and antibacterial action. This book covers the theory and applications of the process.

Titanium dioxide photocatalysis is based on the semiconducting nature of its anatase crystal type. Construction materials with titanium photocatalyst show performances of air purification, self-cleaning, water purification, antibacterial action.

This book describes principles of titanium dioxide photocatalysis, its applications to cementitious and noncementitious materials, as well as an overview of standardization of testing methods.
