Photoassisted oxidation of oil films on water. Final performance report, January 1, 1990--March 31, 1993
The objective of the project has been the development of a technology for cleaning up oil spills on water through their photocatalytic oxidation. The photocatalyst used was titanium dioxide. Nanocrytalline TiO{sub 2}, of anatase or anatase/rutile phase, was bound to hollow ceramic microspheres of sufficiently low density to be buoyant on water. In the presence of these, under sunlight, oil films were photocatalytically oxidized by dissolved oxygen.
