“…Other alcohols: Mechanistic studies on the photooxidation of other alcohols on TiO 2 include: 1-propanol [885], 1-butanol [885,905,906], t-butanol [907][908][909], phenol [467,[910][911][912], and poly-ols and carbohydrates [572]. Of these, the photooxidation of phenol represents an unusual example of photooxidation over TiO 2 .…”

a b s t r a c tThe field of surface science provides a unique approach to understanding bulk, surface and interfacial phenomena occurring during TiO 2 photocatalysis. This review highlights, from a surface science perspective, recent literature that provides molecular-level insights into photon-initiated events occurring at TiO 2 surfaces. Seven key scientific issues are identified in the organization of this review. These are: (1) photon absorption, (2) charge transport and trapping, (3) electron transfer dynamics, (4) the adsorbed state, (5) mechanisms, (6) poisons and promoters, and (7) phase and form. This review ends with a brief examination of several chemical processes (such as water splitting) in which TiO 2 photocatalysis has made significant contributions in the literature.

“…Raupp and Junio [8] and Galanos et al [9] have studied the PCO of MTBE without any kinetics analysis, while Idriss et al [5] have investigated the fate of MTBE and ethanol on Ti and Fe oxides. Alberici and Jardim [7] examined the potential of the photocatalytic degradation of a mixture of VOCs, including MTBE, in regard only to the initial organic concentration, whereas Preis et al [6] proposed for the heterogeneous gas-solid reaction and a kinetics analysis is conducted, taking into consideration both MTBE and the byproducts.…”

“…Fugitive emissions form one facet of the controversy [5]. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was the most widely used motor fuel additive in the USA until 1998 and is still the basic oxygenated additive nowadays in the rest of the world [6]. As a result of MTBE-containing gasoline, it is present in the troposphere, with concentrations of about 10 mg m −3 , which are expected to rise with increasing use [5].…”

“…The PCO reaction can be started and stopped by turning the UV lights on and off in transient studies combined with the mass-spectrometry. The adsorbed intermediates may be subsequently identified in temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) also combined with the mass-spectrometry [19]. Also TPO is an important tool for characterizing of used catalysts and their regeneration [20].…”
