Abstract:
1. A catalytic system for fluid purification, the system comprising: at least one photon source to substantially break down at least two types of target molecules in the fluid to create short lived intermediates; and a ceramic core including at least one type of micropore to adsorb the short lived intermediates for the propagation reactions and termination reactions of the short lived intermediates; at least one charged ion generator for generating charged ions in the fluid, the at least one charged ion generator being positioned upstream from the ceramic core; an oxidant generating device for generating an oxidizing agent, wherein the oxidant generating device is positioned upstream from the ceramic core; wherein the photon source is positioned upstream from the ceramic core and the photon source is configured to break down the at least two types of target molecules at a rate which allows the short lived intermediates to remain in an excited and unstable state when they enter the micropores of the ceramic core after traveling the space between the photon source and the ceramic core.
