A Study of the Photocatalytic Degradation of Acetaldehyde

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

Photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde over cadmium sulfide, a semiconductor was investigated. The effect of various parameters, such as pH, concentration of acetaldehyde, amount of semiconductor, effect of light intensity were observed. A tentative mechanism has been proposed for the photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde using cadmium sulphide semiconductor.
