Abstract:
1. A method for treatment of a fluid by process comprising: supplying power to at least one electrode embedded in a first surface to generate a surface corona and to emit ultra-violet light, the first surface facing and spaced a second surface to define a flow path between and in parallel with the first and second surfaces, the second surface containing nanostructured titanium dioxide; contacting oxygen with the surface corona to convert the oxygen into ozone; introducing the fluid into the flow path causing the fluid to flow in parallel with the first and second surfaces and to come into contact with the ozone for oxidation of the fluid; receiving the emitted ultraviolet light at a second surface facing the first surface, whereby the nanostructured titanium is activated; contacting the fluid with the activated nanostructured titanium dioxide for photocatalytic oxidation of the fluid.
