The use of a novel compact fluorosensor for in situ monitoring of the photocatalytic destruction of methylene blue dye effluents

This output pioneers the successful use of a simple novel compact fluorosensor for in situ monitoring of the photocatalytic destruction of methylene blue dye effluents. This novel instrument has the great advantages of real time detection since no sample pretreatment is necessary and the instrument is relatively cheap to produce. This system has the potential to become the industry standard test method for comparing photocatalytic activity of different TiO2 materials.

This research was carried out in collaboration with Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), Korea (www.dgist.ac.kr/english/02/s0203.htm).
