Course content
|
Photochemical reactions, i.e. chemical transformations initiated by UV-vis irradiation, play the undeniable role in the environment - in atmosphere, surface waters, soil, and in living organisms. The aim of the lectures is to describe current knowledge in natural photochemical processes a their mechanisms. The attention will be also paid to the practical applications of sunshine in detoxication processes of polluted water via heterogeneous photocatalyses. Its role in nature is limited, however, it is a perspective method for the elimination of organic and inorganic pollutants involved both in water and air. The lectures will also cover photocatalytic disinfections and self-cleaning surface modifications followed by a discussion of possible applications of photocatalyses for nuclear waste cleanup.
