✦ Synopsis

The photocatalytic oxidation of 2-ethoxyethanol in a water suspension of Ti02 in the presence of the air has been studied. The gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy head space analysis has been tested for product identification in the irradiated suspensions. It has been shown that the photodegradation mechanisms may be different for high and low concentrations of 2-ethoxyethanol in a suspension of TiOz. For high concentrations of 2ethoxyethanol in solution the adsorbed molecules have a restricted mobility and interact with the surface oxygen. Ethyl for-mate and surface formate have been formed as the primary products. The 2-ethoxyethanol molecules can be of energetically advantageous orientation on the TiOr surface in the suspension with a low 2-ethoxyethanol concentration. The etheric oxygen can interact with the hydrogen of the sorbed hydroxyl groups. The formaldehyde ethylhemiacetal and surface formate were created in the first period of the photocataIytic reaction.

The problems raised by the immobilization (or anchoring) of a photocatalyst, namely TiO2, on a support are reviewed, from the standpoints of the procedure itself and of the structure, adherence, morphology and photocatalytic activity of the deposit. Some new experimental findings are also reported.
