This book introduces the theory and applications of nanometer phoatalysis, and it briefly presents the concept of phoatalysts, phoatalytic reaction mechanisms and kinetics, and phoatalytic reactor design. In addition, the use of phoatalysis in the control of flue-gas pollutants is discussed in detail.
The book also describes how a phoatalytic reactor is designed and implemented to evaluate the phoatalytic oxidation capacity of different phoatalysts on elemental mercury in a simulated flue gas. After that, the effect of phoatalysts on the SO2, NOx and Hg removal in the flue gas is studied. Phoatalytic cleaning technology can be applied not only in gas pollutant cleaning at power plants, but also in wastewater purification.
Readers gain a comprehensive understanding of possible mercury emission control methods and the industrial applications of these technologies.
