First sentence: Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising new alternative method for the removal of organic pollutants in water (Carey, 1976).
Description: "Application of photocatalytic reaction technology holds great promise to address many of today's most challenging environmental issues." "This book presents a coherent and comprehensive treatment of the subject with an up-to-date discussion of both principles (kinetic modeling, radiation balances, and energy efficiency), and applications (decontamination and disinfection of air and water). The book reviews novel reactor designs, various photocatalysts, power sources, and auxiliary equipment - essential topics for the successful application of photocatalysts."--Jacket.
