Application of Nano-TiO₂ Photocatalysis Technology in Purification Exhaust

Abstract:

The great development of transportation system has brought significant effect to the world environment, and people have paid more and more attention to the pollution of the exhausts from vehicles. In recent years, the photocatalytic technique of nanosized TiO2 has been a new technique in automobile exhaust treatment. Based on the mechanism of TiO2 photocatalytic reaction, the paper focus on in-engines and out-engines purification technique and applications about automobile exhaust. At last, limitations and the future development trend in practice is also discussed.
