Abstract
The proposed applied project, submitted by the Department for Nanostructured Materials, Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) (http://nano.ijs.si/) and co-financer Arhel Ltd. (http://www.arhel.si/), foresees development of a new type of photoelectrocatalytic reactors based on a TiO2/TiOXNY nanotube photocatalyst for the decomposition of pharmaceuticals in waste waters. The production of highly active TiO2/TiOXNY photoanodes by process of anodic oxidation of metal titanium (wire, foil, mesh) followed by subsequent heat treatment in various atmospheres represents a very innovative approach, as the synthesised TiO2/TiOXNY photocatalyst is firmly bound to metal titanium, preventing secondary contamination of purified waste water with photocatalyst nanoparticles. The goal of the proposed project is to continue our development of photoelectrocatalytic reactors from the current technological readiness of TRL3 to higher TRL values and to establish subsequent joint endeavour with Arhel d.o.o. to bring resulting innovative applied solutions to market.
