U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Photocatalytic Purification of Air (Gas)

这一为期三年的奖项支持北卡罗来纳州立大学的大卫·F·奥利斯和法国里昂中央学院的皮埃尔·皮查特在光催化方面的美法合作研究。该奖项为奥利斯博士和他的学生提供旅行支持。这项研究的目的是改进常压下污染空气的光催化处理。调查人员提出了两种方法。第一种是由氯自由基引起的连锁反应。第二种方法的目的是提高污染物捕获的效率，并在固体吸附剂的帮助下将其从空气中去除。该项目利用了法国在机械和分析化学技术方面的专业知识，并可能改进光催化氧化。

This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in photocatalysis between David F. Ollis of the North Carolina State University and Pierre Pichat of the Ecole Centrale de Lyon in France. The award provides travel support to Dr. Ollis and his students. The objective of the research is to improve the photocatalytic treatment of contaminated air at ambient pressure. The investigators propose two approaches. The first is to cause chain reactions induced by chlorine radicals. The second approach has the objective of increasing the efficiency of contaminant capture and its removal from air with the assistance of a solid adsorbent. The project takes advantage of French expertise in mechanistic and analytical chemical techniques and may result in improvements to photocatalytic oxidation.
