The simulation of photocatalysis degradation of formaldehyde using nano-TiO2 based on the diffusion model

摘要

In this paper, the one-dimensional diffusion model about nano-TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of formaldehyde process was established, through analyzing nano-TiO2 photocatalytic mechanism, and verifying the accuracy of the model by the experimental data combined with Fick's law. According to this model, it concluded that the degradation rate of the formaldehyde is related to the height of purification apparatus, and when the height is smaller, the degradation rate is greater. Within the same cleaning time (t = 200min), when the height is 0.15m, the rate of degradation of formaldehyde is 99%; when the height is 0.3m, the rate of degradation of formaldehyde is 88%; while the height is 0.7m, the rate is only 32%.
