摘要
The photocatalytic properties of commercialized self-cleaning glasses have been evaluated by the degradation of stearic acid C(17)H(35)COOH (SA), selected as a model molecule representative of fatty dirt. The relative amount of SA has been determined by measuring the FTIR peak area in the range 2752 and 2992 cm(-1) corresponding to the C-H stretching bands. In order to estimate the thickness of one layer, the deposit of SA has been performed using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method, which allows obtaining organized monomolecular layers of amphiphilic organics on a substrate. The thickness of one SA layer, obtained by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition, has been correlated to the FTIR signal. The photocatalytic degradation of a SA layer of a controlled thickness was carried out in a double jacket Pyrex reactor equipped with a UV Philips HPK 125 lamp. The photocatalytic degradation rate of the SA layer with different thicknesses was determined. The SA degradation rate was investigated under UV-A and UV-B irradiations to determine the influence of the photon wavelength range on efficiency. (c) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.
