Proposição de um reator fotocatalítico para destruição de microrganismos em ambientes interiores

Abstract: Recebido em 13/2/02; aceito em 3/6/02 PROPOSITION OF A PHOTOCATALYTIC REACTOR TO INACTIVATE AIRBORNE MICROORGANISMS. The TiO 2 /UV photocatalytic reactor was investigated as an alternative system to inactivate airborne microorganisms. The experiments performed in the absence of the catalyst showed that direct photolysis was not efficient to destruct microorganisms, with only 30% of inactivation. Similar inactivation percentage was obtained using TiO 2 in absence of UV radiation. The destruction of microorganis… Show more

“…Numerous methods have already been proposed to decontaminate indoor air, with filters being the most used in the past because of their low cost and the easy operation they offer. The main disadvantage of this method is that it is non‐destructive, demanding frequent maintenance (Kondo et al., 2003). Ultra‐violet (UV) lamps have also been used inside air conditioning systems with efficiency (Menzies et al., 2003; USEPA, 2002), but heterogeneous photocatalysis has become one of the most studied methods to disinfect indoor air and, due to the observed performance in disinfection rates, they generate a large number of patents and commercial equipment every year (Kim et al., 2001; Kondo and Jardim, 1991;Ohtani et al., 1992; Phillips, 2002; Shchukin et al., 2004; Tryk et al., 2000).…”

“…Kondo et al. coupled a supported P‐25 TiO 2 plug‐flow reactor with a blacklight lamp directly to the exhaust of an air conditioning equipment, reaching 99% of total bacteria inactivation for a residence time of about 40 s. However, no sampling was carried out in the ambient indoor air (Kondo et al., 2003). Pal et al.…”

“…A emulsão de dióxido de titânio utilizada foi preparada 17 adicionando-se num almofariz 12,00 g de dióxido de titânio, 4 mL de água destilada e 0,4 mL de acetilacetona, misturando-se até se obter uma pasta homogênea. Em seguida, foram acrescentados 25 mL de água destilada e 0,2 mL de Triton X-100.…”

“…Ao contrário dos bactericidas comuns, os azulejos revestidos com TiO 2 são continuamente ativos, enquanto houver iluminação 6 . Visando a implementação de sistemas fotocatalíticos contínuos em grande escala, diversos estudos sobre a inativação de microrganismos, envolvendo bactérias, protozoários, vírus e fungos, vêm sendo realizados tanto na água como no ar, objetivando a desinfecção de efluentes, de águas para abastecimento e de ambientes interiores sujeitos a contaminação [7][8][9][10][11] . …”
