基特雷尔 该小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目旨在确定吸附-集成-反应（AIR）技术的技术和经济可行性，并提供一种系统，用于在高空气流量和稀释污染物浓度的应用中破坏挥发性有机化合物（VOCS）。 该研究计划将提供一种新的，多组分，沸石基光催化吸附剂，比传统的二氧化钛光催化剂更活跃。它将包括催化剂组合物的合成和评价，对代表性类别的挥发性有机化合物的销毁效率的动力学研究，以及相对于其他排放控制替代品的光催化技术的比较成本分析。 预计将开发一种有效的稀相污染控制概念，这将提供一种具有成本效益的技术，用于在具有稀VOC浓度的高流速空气中破坏VOC。 这一概念的商业应用将用于控制空气污染：（a）通过破坏土壤和地下水修复产生的挥发性有机化合物的空气排放，（B）工业排放，以及（c）提高室内空气质量。该技术将降低空气污染控制成本，提高环境质量，提高经济竞争力。 ***

*** 9760772 Kittrell This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is to establish the technical and economic feasibility of an Adsorption-Integrated-Reaction (AIR) technology, and provide a system to destroy volatile organic compounds (VOCS) in applications with high flow rates of air and dilute contaminant concentrations. The research program will provide a new, multicomponent, zeolite-based photocatalytic adsorbent, shown to be much more active than traditional titania photocatalysts. It will consist of synthesis and evaluation of catalyst compositions, kinetic studies of destruction efficiency on representative classes of VOCS, and a comparative cost analysis of the resulting photocatalytic technology relative to other emissions control alternatives. It is anticipated than an effective dilute phase pollution control concept will be developed, which will provide a cost-effective technology for destroying VOCs in high flow rate air with dilute VOC concentrations. The commercial applications for the concept will be for control of air pollution (a) by destruction of air emissions of VOCs from soil and groundwater remediation, (b) from industrial emissions, and (c) for enhanced indoor air quality. The technology will reduce the costs of air pollution control, enhance environmental quality, and improve economic competitiveness. ***
