## Abstract The photocatalytic degradation of gaseous trichloroethene (TCE) was investigated on immobilized ZnO/SnO~2~ coupled oxide in a flow‐through photocatalytic reactor. It was found that gaseous photocatalysis is an efficient method for volatile organic compounds' abatement and air purificati

✦ Synopsis
A laboratory ýow-through photoreactor with an immobilized layer of (total volume of TiO 2 the liquid 5000 cm3, photoactive area 60 cm long and 30 cm wide ; irradiation source UV lamps Eversun, Osram, light intensity from 0.9 to 6.2 Â 10-9 Einstein cm-2 s-1) was tested for the inactivation of Escherichia coli (strain DH5a) and bacteriophage kNM1149. The kinetics of the deactivation were approximately ürst order and the initial reaction rate depended on the light intensity. At maximum intensity, the rate constants of the bacteria and viruses inactivation were 2.3 Â 10-4 and 7.2 Â 10-4 s-1, respectively. Bacterial inactivation was also accomplished with solar excitation.
