This book introduces the theory and applications of nanometer photocatalysis and it briefly
presents the concept of photocatalysts photocatalytic reaction mechanisms and kinetics and
photocatalytic reactor design. In addition the use of photocatalysis in the control of
flue-gas pollutants is discussed in detail.The book also describes how a photocatalytic reactor
is designed and implemented to evaluate the photocatalytic oxidation capacity of different
photocatalysts on elemental mercury in a simulated flue gas. After that the effect of
photocatalysts on the SO2 NOx and Hg removal in the flue gas is studied. Photocatalytic
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.
