Patent ID: 7837952

Claim:
A system for removing hydrogen peroxide from a liquid media, the system comprising: a photoreactive catalyst source providing a photoreactive catalyst to the liquid media; an oxidized metal particles source providing oxidized metal particles to the liquid media; a slurry containing the photoreactive catalyst and the oxidized metal particles added to the liquid media having the hydrogen peroxide therein, the oxidized metal particles coating the photoreactive catalyst to create oxidized metal catalyst particles; a reactor configured to receive the liquid media and the slurry containing the oxidized metal catalyst particles, wherein the reactor is further configured to promote turbulent mixing of the oxidized metal catalyst particles in the liquid media; and an irradiation source in the reactor irradiating the oxidized metal catalyst particles when at least some of the liquid media and the slurry containing the oxidized metal catalyst particles are present in the reactor, the irradiated oxidized metal catalyst particles catalyzing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide molecules into oxygen and water.
