During the photocatalytic degradation of trichloroethylene using the allophane-TiO(2) nanocomposite, emission of the intermediate product, phosgene, was drastically inhibited. Trichloroethylene was transformed into the intermediate products, phosgene and dichloroacetyl chloride, on the TiO(2) during the UV irradiation. These compounds are rapidly adsorbed on the allophane. The compounds then gradually degraded after diffusing to the TiO(2)., Article, APPLIED CATALYSIS B-ENVIRONMENTAL. 102(3-4):470-474 (2011)}, pages = {470--474}, title = {Degradation of trichloroethylene using highly adsorptive allophane-TiO(2) nanocomposite}, volume = {102}, year = {2011} }
