Outline of Final Research Achievements

Partial oxidations of organic compounds, namely fine chemical syntheses, over TiO2-based photocatalysts under solar light were promoted selectively and efficiently when the reactions were conducted under a CO2 atmosphere. On the other hand, Complete oxidations of organic compounds in water, namely organic pollutants removal from water, over TiO2-based photocatalysts were promoted efficiently even under solar lighrt in the presence of CO2 adsorbents placed in the gas phase of the reaction container.
