Photocatalysis: Fundamental Processes and Applications (Volume 32) (Interface Science and Technology (Volume 32))

Photocatalysis: Fundamental Processes and Applications, Volume 32 in the Interface Science and Technology Series, discusses the fundamental aspects of photocatalysis and its process and applications to the decontamination of wastewater, hydrogen production via water splitting, and photo reduction of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbon. The book discusses the fundamental aspects of all applications together with their proper mechanisms, thus providing essential information for deep research in the area of clean environment and green energy production.

• Provides background on the fundamental and experimental processes of photocatalysis
• Covers photocatalysis and its impact on creating a clean environment and energy sources
• Applies photocatalysis to the decontamination of wastewater, hydrogen production via water splitting, and photo reduction of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbon
• Edited by a world-leading researcher in interface science

Mehrorang Ghaedi received a B.Sc. degree in applied chemistry from the University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran, a M.Sc. degree in analytical chemistry from Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran, and a Ph.D. degree in analytical chemistry from the University of Isfahan, in 1996, 1999, and 2003, respectively. He is currently Professor of analytical chemistry with Yasouj University, Yasouj, Iran. His research activities range from solid phase extraction methods, liquid-liquid extraction, transport of ions through liquid membrane, cloud point extraction, sensor fabrication, adsorptive stripping analysis, cyclic voltammetry, spectrophotometry in surfactant media, trace analysis, to water treatment.
