General Description
The photocatalytic nanocoating device was developed for cleaning microplastics in water by using nanotechnology-based coatings on filter traps with sunlight activation.
This device uses a novel Photo-Fenton process, where hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ferrous (Fe2+) ions deliver powerful oxidative properties due to the generation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH).
