TiO2 Coated Luminous Textile : Ideal Photocatalytic System For Pollutant Removal From Indoor Air In Vehicule Cabin

SSCI-VIDE+CARE+MHM:PVE:CGU; International audience; The photocatalytic process is an efficient method to remove chemical and microbiological pollutants from indoor air in automotive cabin. In the present work, luminous textile was used at first as light source in the photocatalytic degradation of a mixture of pollutants and compared to classical UV lamp. Then, it was used both as light source and a (photo)catalytic support. In this case, the durability and the deposition quality have been optimized in order to preserve good photocatalytic efficiency. This innovative textile combining light source with photocatalyst has advantage of allowing the development of compact reactor with considerable gain of energy.
