Investigation of photocatalytic-proxone process performance in the degradation of toluene and ethyl benzene from polluted air.

ABSTRACT: In this study, toluene and ethylbenzene were degraded in the photocatalytic-proxone process using BiOI@NH₂-MIL125(Ti)/Zeolite nanocomposite. The simultaneous presence of ozone and hydrogen peroxide is known as the proxone process. Nanocomposite Synthesis was carried out using the solvothermal method. Inlet airflow, ozone concentrations, H₂O₂ concentrations, relative humidity, and initial pollutants concentrations were studied. The nanocomposite was successfully synthesized based on FT-IR, BET, XRD, FESEM, EDS element mapping, UV-Vis spectra and TEM analysis. A flow rate of 0.1 L min^-1, 0.3 mg min^-1 of ozone, 150 ppm of hydrogen peroxide, 45% relative humidity, and 50 ppmv of pollutants were found to be optimal operating conditions. Bot
