Toward an Active Fabric-Based Air Decontamination System

Abstract

Heterogeneous semi-conductor photocatalysis of chloroform (CHCl3) has been demonstrated on titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles that were grafted on cotton fabric and on TiO2 particles that were embedded in glass fabric Modified TiO2 particles were grafted onto cotton fabric and irradiated in the presence of CHCl3 vapor The synthesis of the system is described and FTIR results of the decomposition of CHCl3 are discussed TiO2 particles were also embedded in glass fabric and irradiated in the presence of CHCl3 vapor The embedding process is described and the FTIR results of the decomposition of CHCl are discussed.
