Laboratory and Field Studies of Photocatalytic NOx and O3 Removal by Coatings on Concrete (open access)

Laboratory and Field Studies of Photocatalytic NOx and O3 Removal by Coatings on Concrete

This project involved thorough testing of titanium dioxide (TiO2)-containing commercial photocatalytic coatings applied to portland cement concrete for highway applications, focusing on the use of these coatings as an abatement method for atmospheric nitrogen oxide (NOx) and ozone (O3). The study consisted of four parts: laboratory chamber testing; outdoor exposure studies; modeling; and field application. Full-factorial experiments in laboratory chambers designed to examine the impact of variables such as temperature, relative humidity, time, and pollutant concentrations on NOx and O3 removal by the coatings demonstrated that a commercial stucco was the best performer of the four original materials tested.
