Photocatalysis in concrete terms
Manufacturers of concrete products have been working with photocatalytically active surfaces for a number of years. In collaboration with HeidelbergCement AG, a software tool for quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of such surfaces at a specific location was developed. In a model project conducted by the city of Stuttgart, Germany, the possible effectiveness of photocatalytically active surfaces was simulated on Hohenheimer Strasse in Stuttgart.
Modeling
The photocatalytic process of degradation is modeled in analogy to deposition processes. The resistance model used is based on...
