This method of degradation of organic substances is one of the so-called advanced oxidation processes (AOP) and is called heterogeneous photocatealytic oxidation. However, the recombi combination of electron-hole pairs is also an obvious and common phenomenon,2 less effective. Whether the degradation of organic matter prevails due to positively charged holes, hydroxyl radicals arising from water or radicals from the degraded substance itself depends both on the nature of the powder particles, ambient temperature or pH, as well as on the properties of the organic substance being degraded. Each substance has its own typical degradation path and its intermediates can affect the course of photocalysis to a lesser or greater extent. Degradation of some substances also occurs with the help of UV radiation itself.
Due to photocalytic oxidation, mechanical and chemical impurities are destroyed,odors are erusted, volatile organic substances are ly emulation, and all this has been going on for many years . Substances degradable by photocalyses also include, for example, gaseous oxides, ozone (O3), ammonia, hydrogen sulphuricacid , chlorinated hydrocarbons , aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, microfine particles.
TiZonic nano application is a modern technology with broad-spectrum effects. The combination of nano material based on nano titanium oxide and visible light offers new, desired and necessary properties for treated surfaces.
In connection with photocacalytic mineralization, studies and information on the effects of professionally called INACTIVATION OF PATHOGENS can be found on the available servers. IT IS THE SUPPRESSION OF THE ACTIVITY OF MICROORGANISMS - THEIR NEUTRALIZATION. The nanoYo application system inactivates bacteria, viruses and parasites using a photoactive substance - TiO2 ( precisely defined parameters and morphological structure) and visible light, which is a completely new concept of protection against microorganisms, where this is not a classic chemical disinfection of surfaces, but through a photocalytic reaction, targeted and yet specific destruction of pathogen genomes occurs.
The nano material itself , which is applied to surfaces where it creates a stable kristalic grid with absolute adhesion, is not consumed and inactivation of pathogens only "mediates" as a photocalyst.
After illuminating the surfaces treated with TiZonic visible light, these surfaces show permanent antiviral and antibacterial activity even in dark conditions - without the presence of light for a certain period of time (for example, overnight).
Photocalytic cleaning of air and surfaces of surfaces.
One of the most pronounced properties of the TiO2 catalyst is its powerful destructive or decomposition effect, the essence of which is the oxidation process. In addition, titanium dioxide is capable of decomposing almost all organic compounds during light irradiation. This is because the energy provided by the photocalytic reaction is "quantum". This means that the energy of each photon is the same and does not depend on the intensity of light. Therefore, even at low light intensity, it is available for the course of chemical reactions on the surface of titanium dioxide energy, which corresponds to thermal energy at 30 000 °C. At such a high temperature, the organic substance can be instantly oxidized to CO2 and H2O. In other words, it's burned. In reality, however, the surface of titanium dioxide does not reach such a high temperature. Microbial pollutants are one of the serious sources of internal air pollution and surface surfaces. They consist of particles of biological origin (bacteria, viruses, fungi). An application that destroys floating or lying bacteria, viruses in the air and on surfaces... is relatively new. However, it has been used for at least 10 years, so we already have experience. The time determining the oxidative removal of bacterial mass from the surface can be important for the design of self-cleaning surfaces wherever, due to large accumulation and migration of humans, bacterial meat takes on dangerous proportions.
